Can I code Statuspage?

A public page showing green/red boxes per service, with an incident log underneath, is a small CRUD app with a nice layout. The hard problem (actually detecting the outage) belongs to your monitoring tool, not this page.

VIBE SCORE 95/100

how this is worked out

Why CanICodeThis says Build it

  • Component statuses (operational, degraded, down) are an enum on a row, rendered as colored boxes
  • An incident log with timestamped updates is a simple parent/child table
  • Email/webhook subscriptions for status changes are a well-documented notification pattern

Read before building

  • Automatically flipping a component's status based on your actual monitoring (rather than manual updates) needs an integration with whatever you use for uptime checks
  • Historical uptime graphs per component compound over time and need a bit of data retention thought
  • Their status-page-as-a-service reliability (staying up even when your main product is down) matters more than it sounds — don't host it on the same infrastructure you're reporting on

The build spec

Build me a public status page: components (API, website, database) each with a status I can update manually (operational, degraded, down), an incident log with timestamped updates per incident, and email subscriptions for status changes. Deploy it on separate infrastructure from your main product, so it stays up during an outage of the thing it's reporting on.
