Emitbase Core

Emitbase is an open-source alerts platform for developers. It allows you to connect to a database, define the logic of alerts in SQL, and specify channels for alerts (Email or Slack).

Who is it for?

Emitbase may be a good fit if you are:

• A developer wishing to create all alerts in one place.
• A developer wishing to create alerts without interfering with the business logic of your application.
• A developer wishing to create alerts in a declarative manner.

How does it work?

1. You write SQL to define an alert, for example: SELECT temp FROM metrics WHERE temp > 30.
2. You specify how often the SQL should run using CRON notation, such as: */5 * * * *.
3. You define channels and messages that should be sent (Email or Slack).
4. The SQL query runs every time you specify in CRON:
   1. If the SQL query returns any rows, the messages are sent.
   2. If the SQL query does not return rows, the messages are not sent.
