#2Given that in recent years Github had more downtime that your usual app, the github-powered part may be more of a liability than an asset ;).

#4Abusing version control and CI service as database sounds like a way for ruining it for open source projects that actually need it. The recent Travis thing didn't happen without reason.

I'm pretty sure the reason for "the recent Travis thing" is called Idera, Inc.

#6Neat. A lot of the status page solutions are very expensive. Up to 1500 a month: https://www.atlassian.com/software/statuspage
And that doesn’t include the synthetic monitoring part.
That said, we use site 24x7 at work and it works well enough.

#8I've been using updown.io for my side-projects the last 18 months and I'm very happy with the service. One comment pointed out that status monitoring is expensive - I think I've payed a grand total of $5 for these 18 months, so I don't agree at all.

To be fair, 1500 a month for the companies that would be purchasing that level of the service isn't much. They would be spending more than that on resources to maintain an internal one via servers and people hours.

#10This is great! Sure even github might have downtime. But keeping track of the status for small side projects this is perfect
