/separate
a separate failure domain
Our network shares no provider, no region, and no fate with the systems you point us at. Your outage can't be our outage.
§ infrastructure — independence
we don't run on the same cloud you're trying to watch.
No AWS. No Google Cloud. No Azure. niceuptime runs on independent infrastructure, on purpose — so when a hyperscaler has a bad day, your monitoring and your status page aren't having it too.
§ 01 — the problem
shared fate is
a silent risk.
Most status pages are hosted on the same three clouds as the apps they report on. When the cloud goes, they go together — exactly when you need answers.
during a regional cloud outage
your app
hosted on a hyperscaler
your status page
also on that hyperscaler
your customers are left guessing, and so are you.
§ 02 — our answer
independent,
on purpose.
We deliberately live somewhere else, so we can watch the weather from outside the storm.
/backbone
multi-provider backbone
Independent data centers across regions, no single vendor holding the keys. If one link drops, the watching continues.
/status
status pages that stay up
Your public status page is served from our isolated network — reachable in the exact moment your own stack isn't.
/honest
no shared blind spot
A monitor inside the same cloud can't see that cloud fail. From outside, we catch the outages that matter most.
where we don't live
Amazon Web Services
Google Cloud
Microsoft Azure
Nothing against them — they run half the internet. That's exactly why we can't watch it from inside.
§ 03 — the difference, plainly
monitoring on a hyperscaler
shares a failure domain with what it watches
status page can go dark in the same outage
blind to its own provider's regional failures
monitoring on niceuptime
separate network, separate fate
status page stays up through your outage
an outside view that sees the big failures
