Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service

A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI. Highlights - configurable uptime & SSL monitoring - Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!) - fully-fledged REST API - a responsive, modern & fast UI - monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them - Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images - Only one…

In plain words

Kuvasz is an open-source monitoring service that tracks website uptime and SSL certificate status. It sends alerts via Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty, or email when issues occur. Users can configure monitors through a YAML file, web interface, or REST API. The service runs on cloud infrastructure with minimal dependencies, requiring only PostgreSQL, and delivers a responsive UI with stable performance and low memory usage.

In the maker’s words, at launch

A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI. Highlights - configurable uptime & SSL monitoring - Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!) - fully-fledged REST API - a responsive, modern & fast UI - monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them - Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images - Only one dependency: a PostgreSQL database to connect to - Extensive examples in the docs - stable memory usage (max ~360MB) & great performance It's written in Kotlin, under the hood it uses Micronaut with Netty, jOOQ, and PostgreSQL, and the server-side-rendered UI is built with kotlinx.html, Alpine.js, and htmx. It's called Kuvasz (pronounce as [ˈkuvɒs]), and you can find the repository here: https://github.com/kuvasz-uptime/kuvasz And the website with the extensive documentation here: https://kuvasz-uptime.dev

    Prometheus and OTLP support in Kuvasz, an open-source uptime monitor2025 · kuvasz-uptime.dev · ▲6

    I've added Prometheus and OpenTelemetry support to my beloved open-source pet project called Kuvasz, which is a cloud-native, feature-rich uptime & SSL monitoring service, written in Kotlin. If you already have an observability stack and you only need a free uptime/SSL monitor, you can easily integrate Kuvasz with it. Let me know what you think or what you miss from Kuvasz!

    Kula – Lightweight, self-contained Linux server monitoring toolMar 2026 · github.com · ▲93

    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…

    Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

    Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
