Build vs Buy Monitoring: The Real Cost Breakdown for IT Teams Every IT team eventually faces this question: should we build our own monitoring system or buy an existing solution? On the surface, building seems attractive. You get complete control, no vendor lock-in, and the illusion of "free" since you're using internal resources. But the math rarely works out that way. Let's break down what it actually costs to build, when building genuinely makes sense, and how to make the right decision for your team.

Should an IT Team build their own #monitoring system or buy an existing solution? The new post from #isDown breaks down what it actually costs, when building genuinely makes sense, and how to make the right decision for your team.

GitHub's status page, showing all systems being operational. They are, in fact, not. Not to mention there are several historical outages listed that show 99.82% uptime in February.

The GitHub 500 page which is, unhelpfully, asking me to refresh the page because of an HTTP 500 response.

A tale of two GitHubs.

Seriously... does anyone's status page actually report current status anymore? Or automate status updates? It seems like it's always shows green and then is manually updated hours after recovery...
