This is a super simple IT problem to solve technically (ping a URL, provide a status HTML page, etc.) but really hard to get right, like your customer comment about a vendor. If done wrong, people will go to their "you had one job" card. How do you handle hosting of your own service and isolation from larger "cloud" or internet issues?
- rozenmd 3y agoI replicate the service across several AWS regions, and Cloudflare Workers. At the moment, it's really good at answering "am I down everywhere?", since I can just double check in several other regions. I recently taught it to answer "Am I down just in this region?" by monitoring across cloud providers in the same location, though it's more of a niche use case (for the people I chat to, anyway)
