Upcheck

Ever had a site go down and you were the last to know? Upcheck fixes that. It's a straightforward availability monitor I run on Apify to keep tabs on my web services and APIs. You just give it your URLs or endpoints, and it quietly checks them, tracking their status and response times. The real value is in the alerting. When something stops responding or gets painfully slow, Upcheck lets you know immediately. This means you can often fix issues before your users even notice a problem. I use it for monitoring critical API health, making sure my client's websites are live, and keeping an eye on third-party services my projects depend on. It runs reliably in the cloud on Apify's platform, so you don't need to manage your own server. Set it up once, and it handles the repetitive pinging and logging for you. It’s become a simple, essential part of my dev toolkit for maintaining uptime and catching performance dips early. If you're responsible for any online service, running a monitor like this is just a smart move.
