Upptime

GitHub-powered open-source uptime monitor and status page
Pricing:
- Open Source
While tools such as Prometheus and Upptime will let you monitor, alert, and communicate incidents to your users, there's a lot more than just tracking metrics and pinging your page to really understand your system. The cost of stitching together your own bespoke solution in terms of time alone can be weeks or months, which can strain already over-extended engineers. Moreover, wouldn't you rather be working on things that provide value to your end-users rather than spinning up Grafana again?
