Running my side project StatusGator, I have a good view of 200 different service status pages and there are about 20 services now showing down or warning notices.
A quick spot check seems most of those are related to GitHub, however. Often times when AWS or Heroku or similar hosting service posts downtime you can see 30% of the services I monitor go down at all once.
- jelder 10y agoLong time StatusGator customer here. Great service.
- er0l 10y agomind mentioning some of the bigger names?
- sandstrom 10y agoI just signed up for an account. Looks good! Some feedback: - Great if there was more granularity for some services. Down/warning for all of AWS is not useful. Better if one could scope to region or even better region + service. - The distinction between warn/down is not entirely clear. Also, it's not clear if it varies between services. - Great with Slack integration! - Instead of only selecting by drop-down or search, it would be great with a wall-like page with name + icon/logo, to make it easier to quickly find the service. - Good with historic stats, makes it easier to choose between down/warn (to know how 'noisy'i it'll be).
- colinbartlett 10y agoWow, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm often surprised how hard it is to extract honest, actionable feedback from people even with nice personal emails. Some of these features are already in development!
- sandstrom 10y agoYou're welcome! If you make a wall-like page for selecting services, I'd suggest this layout: https://www.dropbox.com/enterprise https://www.dropbox.com/enterprise Basically the logo in white against the primary-color of the brand. Very easy to scan and looks clean.
