This would run an example query every hour or so, and send out an e-mail or another notification if the query fails.

We could also use UptimeRobot, but we'd have to get a premium account so that we could send POST content and (hopefully) check the output to make sure that some correct data is being returned.

Yeah, but I don't think it can check whether we're getting back normalized identifiers -- just that the frontend is up. That can catch when a database is fully offline, but if a database has been fully or partially emptied, we'll return "null" for some identifiers, which won't be caught by UptimeRobot (unless there is POST result validation features I'm unaware of).

Full disclosure: I found this issue searching for stuff about availability monitoring, trying to promote Checkly. I don't normally post promotional messages in GitHub issues, but do know that it can do exactly this.

Checkly does have a free tier and can do validation of POST results, in fact I'm literally publishing a blog post about this process today.

I won't even share a link here as I'm not trying to be spammy, if this comment is annoying please feel free to delete it.
