dwarvesf/upptime

This repo is a live status page for Dwarves Foundation, a software studio. It publicly tracks whether the company's various online services and APIs are up and running, and it displays the results on a web page anyone can visit. Right now, for example, it shows that several APIs are operational but one service called CGit is currently down. The project is built on a tool called Upptime, which lets you run an uptime monitor entirely inside a GitHub repository, no separate server or paid monitoring service required. It works by using GitHub's built-in automation features to periodically check whether each listed website or API responds. When something goes down, it automatically opens a GitHub issue as an incident report, and the public status page gets updated with the current state, response times, and uptime history. The team at Dwarves Foundation uses this to monitor a handful of their own internal and product-facing services, things like Fortress API, IR API, ICY Swap API, and Brainery API. For a company building software products, having a transparent status page means clients, partners, and users can see at a glance whether services are healthy, how fast they're responding, and when outages occurred. What's notable is the cost and setup tradeoff. Because the whole system runs through GitHub's free automation and hosting features, there's no infrastructure to maintain and no recurring bill for a monitoring platform. The tradeoff is that it's only as reliable as GitHub's own automated checks, it's not a dedicated enterprise-grade monitoring solution, but for a small organization that wants transparency without overhead, it's a practical choice.
