Uptime monitoring vs status pages

Monitoring tells your team. A status page tells your customers. Most small teams need both wired together—not two tools that never talk.

What monitors are for

Detect failure fast from the outside. HTTP status, latency, and “is the health endpoint green?”

What status pages are for

Reduce support load and build trust with a single canonical URL during incidents and maintenance.

The part most tools skip

Detection is worthless if nobody sees it. Connect the monitor to an escalation policy so a failing check pages a human, and to a component so the same failure updates the public page automatically.
