Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a project where uptime monitoring and service status are critical, particularly for services that run in the cloud. One example I found that handles this well is the sasastatus site, which I’ve been using as a reference for how status pages can be presented in a clear and real-time manner.
I’m curious about what tools or strategies other cloud service providers use to ensure their status pages are reliable, especially during high-traffic events. What are the best practices for monitoring uptime and providing real-time updates to users without adding unnecessary overhead?
Any insights into how to handle these challenges with cloud hosting or other cloud services would be greatly appreciated!
