Production monitoring for SaaS teams who'd rather ship features than maintain Prometheus.
Linux metrics, uptime checks, cron jobs and customer-facing status pages in one platform. No PromQL. No Grafana dashboards to build. No Alertmanager rules to maintain.
Used by teams running Rails, Django, Node.js and Go in production
No credit card · Live in 2 minutes · From €27/month
The true cost
Prometheus + Grafana is "free". Until you count the hours.
Self-hosting is a valid choice. It just means your team owns storage, dashboards, alert rules, upgrades and the monitoring stack's own incidents.
Self-host Prometheus stack
- ·Setup and initial config: 1 to 3 days
- ·Retention and storage strategy: recurring decision
- ·Grafana dashboard maintenance: 2-5h/month
- ·Alertmanager rule tuning: 1-3h/month
- ·On-call ownership for monitoring itself
- ·Engineer hours not spent shipping features
Real cost: 5-15h/month of senior engineer time

From €27/month · monitoring without the maintenance backlog

Kill 3 AM staging alerts
Different environments, different alerting policies.
Production should page. Staging should inform. Development should usually stay quiet. Keep those paths separate without maintaining another Alertmanager rule file.
- ✓Separate prod, staging and dev monitors in seconds
- ✓Route each environment to the right channel
- ✓Mute non-prod or send digest summaries only

Been with the service from ground floor; the dev is really nice and insanely effective - more than once I've been reporting bugs and assisting with testing while things were being fixed LIVE! It's obvious that he has aspirations and he's been delivering over expectations constantly. The actual product works perfectly along the other monitoring solutions I'm using (currently Hetrixtools and Komari) and for those who are more wary of unknown code running on their prods the code is available via Git. Nothing but recommendations from me!
