Runstatus

@joshuapinter I know, right?

Thanks @joshuapinter, the price is actually something we feel very strongly about. We are focused on offering the best cloud services for SaaS providers from compute, to storage and more like Runstatus. A status dashboard is a must have, for any serious SaaS. There are no excuses not to have one at 5 Euros per year.

@gregoiregilbert @speed_track Runstatus was built out of software we used internally to report the status of our own service to our customers and has been serving http://status.exoscale.ch for a while. We saw growing demands from customers to have a simple way of communicating about incidents and maintenances with their customers at an affordable price and decided to offer it as a service.

@pyr @speed_track Why did you decide to build your own, custom solution in the first place?

@gregoiregilbert @speed_track We looked for affordable solutions and didn't find compelling ones, so this grew from a simple side-project to a full-blown product, by small iterations

@jbrooksuk Hi James, If you're not bothered about self-hosting cachet will fit the bill. One of our core beliefs at Exoscale is that there are way too many things that distract you when you're trying to get a product out there, especially when you're a small company or building a SaaS product. We feel it's our duty at Exoscale to help you along the way and keep the list of distractions to a minimum, hence offering a statuspage that you don't have to self-host or worry about, at a price point that won't make you want to look for a self-hosted alternative.
