Too many weak points of failure on that setup for an alerting system.

Too many weak points of failure on that setup for an alerting system.
- exclusiv 8y agoI don't think so for my usage and I shared it because it's cost effective and would be acceptable for a lot of devs' projects. I still get UptimeRobots notifications if Zapier or Twilio hiccups. For the phone notifications, if the system fails on a given night it's not the end of the world if I don't wake up. I can fix in the morning. But I agree for e-commerce or mission critical applications - you need redundancy and it's worth ponying up the extra money for an advanced system.
- mgliwka 8y agoIf you can fix it in the morning, why bother at all? As long as it's not an common occurrence, it should be fine, right?
- exclusiv 8y agoBecause many times it's just about being proactive and getting things done ASAP because having your client find out first is bad. I also prefer not starting my day with a fire. I'd rather do it off-hours.
