Status pages and incident updates

Tell customers what is happening before they ask.

Tidepost checks your services every minute, opens an incident when two regions agree and sends one update to your status page, your subscribers and your support team.

Tidepost dashboard of Harwick Ledger: one open incident for slower card payments, 99.98 percent uptime over 30 days, a median response of 184 ms, 4,318 subscribers and six components with ninety days of uptime each, card payments marked as degraded performance.

Status pages for teams at

From the first failed check to the last update, in one place

Six parts that work together, so nobody copies an update from one tool to the next.

Uptime checks

HTTP, TCP and heartbeat checks from three regions. An incident opens only when two of them agree.

  • HTTP, TCP and heartbeat checks
  • Every 60 seconds on every plan
  • Alerts by email, chat and phone

Status page

A fast page on your own domain that works with a keyboard and a screen reader and loads without scripts.

Incident updates

Write one update and it reaches the page, email subscribers and the feed at the same time.

Scheduled maintenance

Announce planned work in advance. Subscribers get a reminder an hour before it starts.

Subscriber notices

Customers choose the components they care about and only hear about those.

Team on call

Rotations, escalation after ten minutes and quiet hours for every person.

Customer story

During our last database outage we posted four updates in an hour and got two support tickets. The year before, the same kind of outage brought in more than two hundred.
