I recently set up a status page for the services I run on my pi. The idea was to get some insights and apply experience at work.

My experience now tells me what we really need first is a solid alerting system, the status page can't be trusted. It's a PR tool (a useful one), not a sysadmin tool.

If the status page officially authorized by the company’s management team cannot be trusted, then why trust the company in the first place?

Is the company in the business of selling status pages ?

[MichaelZuo]

If they market it as a feature，yes?

Were you expecting me to say something else?

Well, the status page is not the main feature of github/gitlab but I agree that if customers decide to rely on it then it's a problem.

Yeah, something like "their status page is not their core business" or "status pages and SLA are two distinct things".
