This is cool, does this actually hit all the services directly (in each region) instead of pulling from AWS Status?

Which uptime checker tool would be based on status pages (owned by the marketing department)? That defeats the whole purpose.

[rozenmd]

I've run a business in this space since 2021, I am yet to meet a business that lets their marketing team own their status page.

You'll find most engineering teams will start owning a status page to centralise updates to their stakeholders, before eventually growing into the customer success/support org owning it to minimise support tickets during incidents.

Marketing has nothing to do with status pages.

I highly doubt AWS health dashboards are owned by marketing

https://updog.ai/status/openai issue history looks terrible. Wonder how you ping openAI for this; with a completion attempt on a particular model?

It is based on the impact on Datadog's customers, not on synthetic queries / pings

From the page:

> API health is inferred by analyzing aggregated and anonymized telemetry from across the Datadog customer base.
