I use Kuma for a few microservices I’ve built. It’s a simple open source tool for monitoring APIs, ports, websites etc if they are down.

The issue I get is that they are hosted on your own infrastructure, so it doesn’t do you a whole lot of good if your site is down and it takes your Kuma down with it. This also leads to a bunch of false notifications which are annoying.

From what I can tell, people in the GitHub comments are looking for hosted Kuma.

I built DownForReal (largely with LLMs) but what it does is it hosts Kuma and if Kuma is reporting the service down, probes from US, Frankfurt, and Singapore are sent to confirm the outage (looking for 2 out of 3 of the regions).

I’m asking $10 a month or $75 a year.

I’m really just launching this as a service bc I built it for myself.

There is also a simple importer for uptimerobot exports.
