Telegram alerts for workers, cron jobs, and scripts.
Developer Tools
Pingwire is a Node.js npm alert CLI for worker monitoring, cron job notifications, process failure alerts, and DevOps automation through reusable Telegram notification channels.
Internal workers, cron jobs, and automation scripts needed a simple notification layer that could be configured once and reused from different projects without rebuilding alert plumbing each time.
The tool also needed to stay practical for command-line use, with Telegram alert delivery, local channel configuration, duplicate-notification cooldowns, test sends, and a small surface area that fits automation-heavy DevOps environments.
We built Pingwire as an npm-distributed Node.js CLI package with reusable channel configuration, Telegram bot delivery, pair-mode setup, channel management commands, and direct alert sending from shell scripts or worker code.
The package keeps worker monitoring and process alerting lightweight while still handling operational details such as enabled and disabled channels, local config storage, cooldown state, test messages, and explicit notification targeting.
