What makes cron-job.org not an alternative for us, is that this they monitor by crawling a URL that you provide. This is limiting and doesn't serve our use case for backend system monitoring.
By contrast, Cronhub gives us a public endpoint that we must ping by a certain interval to say that our service ran in the interval.
We also use their slack integration to show any monitoring failures in our #fires channel!
It's a monitoring service that "just works" and we don't have to maintain it, and if things go wrong we can reach out to someone since we are paying customers.
We use ElasticSearch at Lawmatics, and it powers more functionality than just our search! We use it to power our Automation targeting engine, reporting features, audience builder and pagination, filtering, sorting of data tables.
We denormalize associated records into one Index. And any record that we need to find based on user-defined queries will go through ES since it's much simpler to metaprogram queries across denormalized data (no conditional joins).
On a mac, I don't use the default terminal. I had to click the button, and then copy the protocol from the dialog box that popped up asking if it was okay to start terminal.app.
Could you please make the button text selectable? It would make the experience easier for people to get into (conversion_rate++)

Also Tigran is very responsive!
