Deploy and monitoring · by OpenStatus (openstatus.dev)

openstatus

An open-source (AGPL-3.0) uptime monitor, status page and incident tool that checks your URLs from 28 regions, alerts Slack, PagerDuty and others, and lets you manage monitors, status reports and incidents from a dashboard, a typed JSON API, a CLI, Terraform or an MCP server.

You learn that an endpoint is down from multi-region checks before customers write in, and the public status update and postmortem draft come from the same place instead of three separate tools.
