### What we like

Supports synthetic API monitoring and real user monitoring with an embedded JS snippet. Monitors can be made public for status transparency. Users can subscribe to status pages. Supports alerting and notifications of issues via Discord, Slack, SMS, PagerDuty. Open source - self-host or use their cloud service.

### Tradeoffs

No docs for how to self-host other than running the dev environment locally.
