Why Cloudy Scheduler Uses Spotto for Azure Cloud Monitoring

At Cloudy Scheduler, we run our fully-managed scheduling service on Azure infrastructure distributed across multiple data centres. To ensure we deliver a reliable, cost-efficient service to our customers, we use Spotto to proactively monitor our Azure environment for optimization opportunities, misconfigurations, and potential issues.


The Challenge: Managing Complex Azure Infrastructure

Running a fault-tolerant cron job scheduling system requires careful attention to infrastructure management. Our service operates across multiple Azure regions and supports customers worldwide with different timezone requirements. This complexity creates several challenges:

  • Ensuring resources are right-sized to balance performance and cost
  • Identifying security misconfigurations before they become vulnerabilities
  • Maintaining reliability across distributed infrastructure
  • Keeping operational costs under control as the platform scales
  • Staying aligned with Azure Well-Architected Framework best practices
