Hi there! I'm Nuno Tomas and I'm the founder of IsDown. IsDown was founded in 2020.
The idea came from one night when I was on-call and, at 4:00 AM, got a PagerDuty alert. After 30 minutes of debugging to figure out why one of the databases was down, I've realized the problem wasn’t with the database but with the provider. They had posted an outage on their status page, but we weren’t subscribed to it.
After that incident, I realized how hard it was to keep track of all the status pages and outages from the providers. There had to be a better way to do it. The company was relying on dozens of providers, each with its own status page and format, making it impossible to gather all outages in one place.
That’s why I decided to create IsDown, a status page aggregator that helps companies have a single source of truth for the status of all their services.
Over the years, IsDown has grown and is now trusted by over 500 companies and their teams. We've now performed over 550 million status checks, monitor more than 3,550 cloud vendors, recorded over 340,000 outages, and sent more than 2.1 million notifications to our customers.
Our goal is to make it simple for teams to monitor their dependencies and quickly identify the root cause of any issues. We’ve also been adding ways to detect issues before providers even release an outage update on their status pages.
We also believe that we should not be another tool that teams have to take a look when there's an issue. That's why we've been adding more and more integrations with other tools, to help teams aggregate all the information in one place. We already have integrations with Slack, PagerDuty, Datadog, Microsoft Teams, and many more.
