Reviewer scorecard
“Beautiful self-hosted uptime monitoring. Setup takes 5 minutes with Docker. Status pages included.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“Free, self-hosted, and looks professional. The notification integrations cover every platform imaginable.”
“At small scale it's nearly free and incredible. At high scale, costs can surprise you. Know your usage patterns and set budget alerts. The product itself is excellent.”
“Self-hosted monitoring that looks great and works reliably. Open-source infrastructure monitoring is mature.”
“Vercel is building the cloud for the AI era — AI Gateway, Workflow DevKit, Edge Functions. They're not just a hosting platform, they're the application platform.”
