Qrystal Uplink

The cloud-based watchdog for IoT.

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 5% of January 2026

What it does

Stop building custom backends to track IoT uptime. Qrystal Uplink is a cloud-based watchdog for ESP32 & embedded fleets. We use "fail-closed" logic: if your device goes silent (crash, power loss, freeze), we alert you instantly via Email (as well as Slack, Telegram, etc. in the future). Replace weeks of infrastructure work with 5 minutes of integration: • Officially maintained platform SDKs. • One line of code. • No servers to manage. Focus on your firmware. Let us handle the plumbing.

    Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service2025 · kuvasz-uptime.dev · ▲29

    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…

    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!

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
