I've actually previously bookmarked their site status as being an example of a good transparent "status" page. Here are a few others that I like. (Incidentally, AWS page isn't on the list. I'm a massive advocate of AWS, but they flat out lie for most of their incidents. http://status.aws.amazon.com/ http://status.aws.amazon.com/ ) ------------- Good Examples --------------- CloudFlare - https://www.cloudflare.com/system-status https://www.cloudflare.com/system-status Desk/Assistly - http://www.desk.com/trust http://www.desk.com/trust ZenDesk - http://www.zendesk.com/support/system-status http://www.zendesk.com/support/system-status 37Signals - http://status.37signals.com/ http://status.37signals.com/ Heroku - https://status.heroku.com/ https://status.heroku.com/ (In case you skipped the article) - If you want a public status page, a company called Nimsoft, (I have no affiliation with them), provide status pages as a service. They produce pages like this one : http://status.automattic.com/ http://status.automattic.com/ ------------------------------------------------- Also, if anyone is interested in how Heroku did the cool connect lines between events on the timeline, and then the actual description, there is a working proof of concept here. http://jsfiddle.net/Xe3uL/33/ http://jsfiddle.net/Xe3uL/33/
