A Datadog for Datadog

Get updates on when Datadog is recovering in real-time (aka about 25 minutes faster than the status page) with the free Metrist.io app and Slack integration. We use functional testing for Datadog and other cloud dependencies so you can know how they are functioning in real time.

In plain words

Metrist.io monitors Datadog and other cloud services using functional testing to detect outages and recovery times about 25 minutes faster than official status pages. The free service sends real-time alerts through a web app and Slack integration, letting teams immediately know when dependencies are down or back online. It's designed for developers and operations staff who need early warning of cloud platform issues affecting their infrastructure.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
