Welcome to UptimeChecker
We're excited to introduce UptimeChecker — a simple, reliable way to monitor your free-tier services and keep them alive.
The Problem
If you're a developer using free-tier services like Render, Railway, Supabase, or Upstash, you've probably experienced this: your service goes to sleep after inactivity, and when you need it most, it's down.
Free-tier services are amazing for side projects, MVPs, and learning, but they come with limitations. Most notably, they spin down after periods of inactivity to save resources. This means:
- Your API might be unavailable when users try to access it
- Cold starts can take 30+ seconds, creating a poor user experience
- You might not even know your service is down until someone complains
The Solution
UptimeChecker solves this by automatically pinging your services at regular intervals. It's like having a friend who checks on your services to make sure they're awake and healthy.
Key Features
- Automated Monitoring: Set it and forget it. We ping your services automatically.
- Instant Alerts: Get email, Slack, or Discord notifications when something goes wrong.
- Smart Detection: We treat auth errors (401/403) as "Active" because they mean your service is responding.
- Flexible Intervals: Choose how often to ping (1-14 days) based on your needs.
- Free Plan: Monitor up to 3 services for free. Perfect for side projects.
How It Works
- Add Your Service: Enter your service URL and choose a platform (Render, Railway, Supabase, etc.)
- Set Ping Interval: Choose how often we should check on your service (1-14 days)
- Relax: We'll automatically ping your service and alert you if anything goes wrong
That's it! No complex configuration, no infrastructure to manage. Just simple, reliable monitoring.
Who Is This For?
UptimeChecker is perfect for:
- Indie Hackers: Keep your side projects alive without breaking the bank
- Students: Monitor your learning projects and portfolio sites
- Startups: Ensure your MVP stays online while you validate your idea
- Developers: Monitor personal projects, demos, and proof-of-concepts
