Overview openstatus combines public status pages, uptime checks from 28 regions and incident management in one platform. Monitors, pages and notification channels are declared in YAML or Terraform and applied from a CLI or CI, and an MCP server and Slack agent can operate incidents. The stack is a Next.js dashboard, a Hono API, a Go checker, Turso for data and Tinybird for analytics, self-hosted via Docker Compose, Coolify or Railway.
Who it is for: Teams running status pages and uptime monitoring who want config in code
