Cron every minute
The shortest interval cron supports. Good for queue workers and health probes; for anything heavier, make sure a run finishes within a minute or runs will pile up.
Every minute.

Know when it doesn’t run
Cron never tells you when a job fails to start or dies halfway. Add a ping at the end of the line: if Heartcron doesn’t hear it on schedule, you get an alert in Telegram, Slack, Discord or email.
