I built OutageDeck because I got tired of opening a dozen status pages whenever something broke, trying to work out whether the problem was mine or somebody else's.
OutageDeck reads the official status sources published by 172 cloud and SaaS companies, including AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, OpenAI, Google Cloud, Slack, Stripe, Twilio and Vercel. It normalizes their current state, affected services, incident updates and source timestamps into one stack view.
The boundary matters. A vendor feed is not independent truth and can acknowledge an incident late. OutageDeck is an index and a second signal, not a replacement for direct provider checks or synthetic probes from your own regions. Every record links back to the official source. OutageDeck's own health endpoint is also checked from a separate GitHub-hosted workflow, with the run history visible at https://github.com/outagedeck/status-check/actions/workflows/outagedeck-health.yml.
You can check a stack without an account. Free accounts add email alerts for five providers. Paid plans start at $19 a month and add Slack, Teams, Discord, webhooks, unlimited providers, and private Statuspage or Instatus feeds.
Incident history stays available after the vendor removes its banner, which makes postmortems easier to reconstruct. Developers can use the keyless JSON API, OpenAPI spec, RSS feeds, README badges, CLI, MCP server, GitHub Action, or the Open WebUI tool.
Built and run by Kerolos Atallah in Cairo. Not affiliated with any provider it tracks.

OutageDeck's answer:
Choose it when your problem is third-party vendor status, not when you need synthetic monitoring of your own application.

OutageDeck's answer:
OutageDeck only reports what vendors officially publish. Every status comes from the provider's own machine-readable feed, never crowd reports and never scraping. Then it holds vendors to what they said:

I got tired of opening a dozen vendor status pages during every incident, just to work out whether the problem was mine or somebody else's. So I built the thing I wanted.
It launched in July 2026 as one live board over the official status feeds of the vendors teams actually depend on. The catalog is at 172 now: AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, OpenAI, Google Cloud, Slack, Twilio, and a long tail of others.
The rule from day one: official machine-readable sources only. No crowd reports, no scraping. If a status can't be traced back to the vendor's own feed, it doesn't get published.

Visual Studio Code, a code editor created by Microsoft, was first introduced on April 29, 2015, at the Build conference. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
The step up from there is an editor with a built-in agent like Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, or VS Code with a coding extension. These are code editors with an AI agent living inside them, and the difference is the responsible party for getting things from place to place. Instead of the software creator shuttling code between windows, the AI agent edits the project files directly and runs the GitHub and... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
For IDE-heavy teams, BYOK (bring your own key) can be interesting, no matter whether you live in WebStorm or VS Code. On the JetBrains side, the JetBrains AI plans and Junie BYOK docs allow it, and most VS Code AI extensions offer the same idea: keep the IDE, connect provider keys, pay the provider. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
Option 1: Raw editing in IDE. You open the .md file in VS Code or whatever you use. Syntax highlighting shows you the structure. Maybe you toggle a preview pane. This works for quick edits but becomes painful for anything involving tables, diagrams, or complex formatting. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
You'll need Python 3.8+ and pip for the quickstart, with venv recommended for isolation. Install the requests library for HTTP calls. VS Code with the Python extension works well as an editor, though PyCharm or Sublime Text work equally well. You'll also need a free Foxit developer account. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
