Guides
Running a status page, done right
Practical guides on the parts of status pages and uptime monitoring that most vendor content glosses over: what to actually publish, what to say during an incident, and how checks work underneath the badge.
Status page best practices
What to publish, what order it belongs in, how granular your components should be, and how to stay honest when the truth is inconvenient.
Incident communication: what to say and when
The four-stage incident lifecycle, when to post the first update, how often to follow up, and copy-paste templates for each stage.
Uptime monitoring explained
What a green badge actually measures, why single-location checks produce both false alarms and false confidence, and what multi-region checking fixes.
How to choose a status page tool
A factual checklist: check granularity, alert honesty, incident workflow, subscriber notifications, pricing shape, and what to test before committing.
