If you want a light (and free) DIY solution, it's pretty straightforward to build a basic uptime monitor (with connections to Slack, SMS, whatever) using Standard Library [0] and Scheduled Tasks, one of our engineers just posted this article (you can build from your browser): https://hackernoon.com/build-an-uptime-monitor-in-minutes-with-slack-standard-library-and-node-js-e7973d659849 https://hackernoon.com/build-an-uptime-monitor-in-minutes-wi... Another option if you don't feel in the mood for DIY is TJ Holowaychuk's Apex Ping: https://apex.sh/ping/ https://apex.sh/ping/. Great service, run by a solo developer, reasonable price.

Sorry but that has got to be one of the worst company/product names ever. Either it is completely un-searchable since literally every programming language has a "standard library" or if it actually takes off it will push down actually relevant results for niche programming language docs.

  Yes — you’re not the first person to come at me with a pitchfork for the domain and name and won’t be the last. I do appreciate the feedback, but we’re committed to the name. :) We haven’t historically had a problem with “stdlib”, we’re already the top Google result. “Standard Library” (full name) is new for us as we expand to a less technical cohort of customers. We’re working with some pretty great people and companies (Stripe, Slack) on our mission to build a, well, Standard Library — so if you can get over the name choice you should check out our online development environment! -> https://code.stdlib.com/ https://code.stdlib.com/
