    dish is a lightweight, 0 dependency monitoring tool in the form of a small binary executable. Upon execution, it checks the provided sockets (which can be provided in a JSON file or served by a remote JSON API endpoint). The results of the check are then reported to the configured channels. It started as a learning project and ended up proving quite handy. Me and my friend have been using it to monitor our services for the last 3 years. We have refactored the codebase to be a bit more presentable recently and thought we'd share on here! The currently supported channels include: - Telegram -…

    ServiceRadar is an open-source platform for distributed, secure network management and observability, scaling to 100k+ devices. Born from frustration with complex traditional NMS tools like Zabbix, it bridges legacy (SNMP/syslog) and modern (gNMI, OTLP) protocols for cloud-native environments. We built ServiceRadar to simplify monitoring hybrid telecom networks, evolving it into a Kubernetes-native solution with Helm and Docker support. It uses mTLS with SPIFFE/SPIRE, NATS JetStream for event streaming (90M+ EPS), and SRQL for intuitive queries. Integrated with OpenTelemetry,…

    Zero dependencies. No external databases. Single binary. Just deploy and go. I needed something that would allow for real-time monitoring, and installation is as simple as dropping a single file and running it. That's exactly what Kula is. Kula is the Polish word for "ball," as in "crystal ball." The project is in constant development, but I'm already using it on multiple servers in production. It still has some rough edges and needs to mature, but I wanted to share it with the world now—perhaps someone else will find it useful and be willing to help me develop it by testing or providing…
