24 alternatives to StatusDude - Monitor what others can't
Hey HN, I'm Oskar. For the past few months I've been building StatusDude - an uptime monitoring tool with private agents that auto-detects your Kubernetes resources. I run a bunch of stuff across multiple orgs, different clusters, internal networks, self-hosted, GKE, EKS, etc. Monitoring all of it without Datadog money was getting tough, and most tools don't even support internal networks. So, here we are. A tiny async agent sits inside your network and phones home over HTTPS. No inbound ports, no VPN, no firewall rules. One container, one helm install, done. A single instance handles 10k+…

Hello HN! We're excited to share Statusduck, an uptime monitoring tool where the data is publicly viewable. There are an uncountable amount of uptime tools but we thought we'd put a fun spin on the concept by making another one where people can immediately set up a monitor without signing up. Just type in a website and our service will start pinging it every minute!

Hey HN! I'm excited to share Statusnook - a status page and monitoring tool. I built Statusnook for my own projects, but I soon began incorporating bits of feedback from friends & colleagues. My goal was to create a tool with a solid essential feature set, and to make it easy to self-host. I welcome any feedback or suggestions.

Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…

Eurker▲16Hi HN, I built an uptime monitoring tool similar to other services, but more lightweight, easier to set up, and focused on developer flexibility. It includes all the essential features — keyword assertions, custom HTTP methods, retries, alerts via SMS/Email/Slack/Webhooks — with a clean JSON config system for advanced setups. I originally made it last month to learn more about Firebase Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, and to build something real for my portfolio. It turned out to be genuinely useful, so I’ve decided to share it. Would love your feedback – especially from devs…
