What it is
openstatus is an open-source platform for uptime monitoring and status pages. It monitors websites, APIs, and services from 28 regions across multiple cloud providers. Automation interfaces include a CLI, typed API with OpenAPI, a Node SDK, an MCP server, and Terraform management. Depending on plan, status pages can support custom domains and themes, subscribers, locale switching, and maintenance status. The free Hobby plan includes one monitor, one status page, three components, and checks no more frequent than every 10 minutes. Starter lists 20 monitors and one-minute checks at $30.00 per month, billed annually at $300/year ($25/mo). Openstatus is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted with Docker. Its alert channels include Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, email, SMS, WhatsApp, OpsGenie, PagerDuty, Grafana OnCall, webhooks, and Ntfy; paid plans include selected channels. The project was founded in 2023 and is built by a bootstrapped, self-funded two-person team.
