API uptime monitoring: why it is critical and how our service helps ensure stability
Today, APIs are the foundation of modern digital products. Mobile apps, web clients, integrations, microservices, and internal systems all depend on them. Any delay, error, or API outage immediately affects the business: conversion drops, incidents grow, and services begin to fail. That is why API uptime monitoring is a fundamental practice for any team.
We provide a self-hosted monitoring platform that allows you to reliably control API performance, receive instant alerts about problems, and ensure the stability of your entire architecture. Our system is installed on your servers, stays fully under your control, and integrates into your internal infrastructure without compromises in security or flexibility.
API uptime monitoring is continuous automatic checking of API endpoint performance. Our platform analyzes:
-
API availability — correct status code
-
response time — how quickly the API reacts
-
correctness of the response body
-
compliance with business logic
-
stability of internal dependencies (databases, message brokers, queues, internal services)
If the API starts responding slowly, producing an error, or working unstably, our service detects it first and immediately notifies your team.
If the API stops working, everything collapses: web clients, mobile applications, admin panels, integrations. Monitoring lets you detect the problem before it becomes widespread.
Even if the API works perfectly now, increasing user load raises the risk of degradation — slower responses, partial errors, freezes.
A subsystem may fail, yet the API may continue to respond, only slower or partially. Without monitoring, such failures are difficult to detect.
This is why we built deep API checks into our platform rather than relying on basic HTTP pings.
Our platform is designed specifically for scenarios where the API plays a key role. Everything is built around an API-first architecture, making the system powerful, flexible, and highly integrable.
Our service can:
-
check HTTP/HTTPS endpoints
-
analyze JSON response content
-
measure latency and performance
-
monitor message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT)
-
monitor databases that the API depends on
-
run push-based checks via Webhook
This means the platform monitors not only whether the API is “alive,” but whether it is “working correctly.”
We support dozens of channels: Telegram, Slack, email, WhatsApp, Discord, Google Chat, Webhook, Matrix, Signal, and many more.
You can configure different severity levels and your own alerting rules.
Our service allows you to create informative status pages:
-
public — for customers
-
private — for the team or management
-
separate pages for different projects
This reduces support workload and increases transparency.
The system is fully self-hosted: you control the database (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), storage policy, security, and access.
No metrics or data are sent to third-party servers.
Included:
-
multi-factor authentication
-
brute-force protection
-
SSL checks
-
role and access management
-
monitoring critical endpoints
-
checking logic, not just status
-
detecting performance degradation
-
separating alerts by severity levels
-
keeping incident history
-
public and internal communication through status pages
All this is available out of the box without writing scripts or custom infrastructure.
-
Your API serves external clients or partners
-
Your cloud or microservice architecture is actively growing
-
There are recurring complaints about “random” failures
-
You need transparent and provable SLA tracking
-
You need to control load, performance, and stability
If the API is an important part of your product, monitoring is essential.
API uptime monitoring is not a luxury — it is the foundation of stable operation for modern applications. We have developed a platform that makes this process simple, reliable, and fully controllable. Our service enables deep API monitoring, timely incident response, and high availability.
