Post Description
I built a small production monitoring system in C++ to explore what a modern backend runtime could look like without heavy frameworks.
It monitors HTTP endpoints, tracks uptime and latency, and streams updates via WebSocket.
The goal was to keep the system simple and understandable, with a clear architecture: domain -> application -> infrastructure -> presentation
It runs on a low-cost VPS and handles real traffic.
This is powered by Vix.cpp: https://github.com/vixcpp/vix
Source code: https://github.com/GaspardKirira/PulseGrid
I’d appreciate any feedback, especially on architecture and design decisions.

SiteReady – Uptime monitoring and status pages for indie makers
Clean, focused product: email alerts, response-time tracking, and instant public status pages with a forever-free 2-monitor tier make it easy to get started. It isn't reinventing monitoring, but the stripped-down pricing and one-click status publishing feel deliberately built for solo founders — missing advanced alerting (SMS/pager/on-call tooling) and broader integrations keeps it squarely aimed at small shops.

StatusPing – Uptime monitoring for $9/mo
This is a clean, no-nonsense uptime monitor: 1‑minute checks, Slack/Discord/webhook alerts, custom-domain status pages and a usable free tier (3 monitors) — everything you actually expect from a monitoring starter kit. Nicely executed UX and sensible pricing make it an easy switch from UptimeRobot or Better Uptime, but the product doesn’t show a clear technical edge or novel feature to make it stand out in a crowded category.
