Pretty cool visualization. I've been building something like this for 12 years now. One major difference is mine does not only rely on the "official" status page but also receive millions of reports from users about outages. So your single pane of glass can show not just known outages but emerging ones that haven't been acknowledged yet by providers. Also supports more than 8,000 services.

Something must be wrong, it's showing github as up!
But then, the home page can be cached, and bots can be batched and nobody would ever notice the difference.

Cloudflare as well
Services like Cloudflare and Twilio have so many POPs globally that one or more always have an outage going on. Then there's the question of whether it's a major outage or a minor outage. Even though major status page providers like Atlassian and Incident.io have public status APIs (Cloudflare uses Atlassian), it takes more than just parsing them to determine what is "down" and at what granularity. I run an outage de…

Where do you source these "millions of reports" from?

A bunch of different services on a single status page doesn’t make it a complex system. Most of these have no relation to each other other than the high level services on the cloud providers.
They're all part of the internet, which is one of the most complex systems ever built.
My toaster and the dam 1000 miles away are on the same electrical grid. Calling my toaster part of the electrical generation system because it consumes from it doesn’t make sense.
Coming back to the dashboard example, almost none of those work together to provide some kind of combined outcome you would expect from complex systems analysis (e.g. electrical generation, healthcare, etc).
If all of the boxes were ISPs instead, it would be a great example. Because they all work together to provide IP connectivity to the world and many can be down while the overall internet continues to function.

No, they exist on the internet but calling them part of the same system is a bit torturous. My toaster and the dam 1000 miles away are on the same electrical grid.
