Ask HN: Test uptime for your API / Service? Get notified of 3rd party downtime?
As many others, I was burned by yesterday's Azure outage.
I did not have a public-facing website, but I did have some APIs and services, and services that depended on other (3rd party) services.
I wanted to know how the rest of the HN community is testing your APIs or services for uptime.
Do you have some sort of automated smoke testing on a different platform?
Do you subscribe to some service to know about 3rd party disruptions?
- GFischer 8y agoSome services I'm looking at: Pingdom - https://www.pingdom.com/ https://www.pingdom.com/ Assertible - https://assertible.com/ https://assertible.com/ Also Application Insights, but it was down during the outage. We can also roll out our own on AWS Lambda or something, but I'd rather not.
