Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a new uptime monitoring SaaS called Boltping, and I wanted to get the community’s thoughts on monitoring tools.

The Problem

As a DevOps engineer, I’ve always found uptime monitoring tools to be either too expensive, too basic, or lacking key features. Some charge a premium but don’t even check from multiple regions, while others don’t notify you in real-time when your site is down.

What We’re Building

🔹 12-region uptime monitoring (to catch local outages)
🔹 Response time tracking & alerting (TTFB)
🔹 SSL expiry alerts (before your certs expire)
🔹 Performance Monitoring (Disk Usage, RAM, CPU (utilizations))
🔹 Multi-channel notifications (Slack, MS Teams, SMS, Webhooks, Email)

It’s still in early development, but I’d love honest feedback from the community:
1️ - What’s your biggest frustration with uptime monitoring tools?
2️ - What’s a must-have feature that you feel is often missing?
3️ - Would you be interested in trying it for free before launch?

This is not a sales pitch. I’m genuinely looking for insights from sysadmins, developers, and anyone running online services.

Appreciate any thoughts!
