Observare

Observare is open for signups. 4 monitor types, 5 alert channels, Stripe webhook logging, and branded status pages — all in one login, £5/month. The bundled ops-monitoring SaaS I've been building in public is live. 🧵

Monitoring tools compared — what you actually get for your money: Uptime Robot — just forced legacy users onto $348/year Better Uptime — starts at $20/month Datadog — don't even ask Uptime Kuma — free, but you're running it yourself @ObservareOps — £5/month, everything included: ✓ Uptime, SSL, port & cron monitoring ✓ Process & Docker monitoring (from inside your network) ✓ Slack, Discord, SMS, email & webhook alerts ✓ Public status pages ✓ Stripe webhook logger & replayer ✓ No feature tiers. No $X/seat. No legacy pricing surprises. observare.co.uk #IndieHackers #SaaS #DevOps #Monitoring #BuildInPublic #SoloFounder

Uptime Robot just force-upgraded legacy customers to $348/year. I built @ObservareOps because monitoring shouldn't cost that much. £5/month. Everything included: → Uptime, SSL, port & cron monitoring → Process & Docker monitoring via lightweight agent → 5 alert channels (Slack, Discord, SMS, email, webhook) → Public status pages No tiers. No legacy pricing games. observare.co.uk

@_lhermann @uptimerobot @_lhermann £5/month, no legacy pricing games — @ObservareOps has uptime, SSL, port, cron heartbeat monitoring, 5 alert channels and public status pages. Built bootstrapped, priced for bootstrappers. observare.co.uk

I've been with @uptimerobot for years and always recommended them. But now they are force-upgrading me to a $348/y plan. Super unfriendly towards legacy customers. Anyone know a bootstrapped-friendly alternative?

@BRSFanBoy @MicrosoftLearn The real test isn't writing it, it's 2am watching your cron job silently fail for the third time and finally admitting you need a heartbeat monitor 👀

@MicrosoftLearn Observability+Debugging is highest form of understanding system. To become pro in it, people need break things. How to fix: Go to corner of the room, sit back and cry😭.

Real talk: You don’t really understand a system until something breaks and you have to fix it.

@weryxmrr Bit biased but — we built @ObservareOps exactly for this. Uptime, SSL, ports, cron heartbeats, process + Docker monitoring, 5 alert channels, public status pages. £5/mo, everything included. observare.co.uk

can anyone share some sauce on how to build great software? specifically what kind of observability platforms or other tools you use to make sure stuff doesnt break except the obv like sentry, posthog, etc.

D) if you're open to managed: @ObservareOps — £5/mo, every feature included, no open/pro split. Uptime, SSL, ports, cron heartbeats, process + Docker monitoring via a lightweight agent, 5 alert channels, public status pages. No Prometheus config, no Grafana dashboards to maintain. observare.co.uk

Sadly, it looks like @netdatahq has serious restrictions on the features included in the opensource version. Which means, I'm still looking for an opensource observability platform. Which do you recommend? A) @grafana + Prometheus B) @SignozHQ C) @OpenObserve D) Something else?

Docs: observare.co.uk/docs/installin… Trial: observare.co.uk/register Built to replace the patchwork of UptimeRobot + Healthchecks.io + cert expiry emails + Slack webhooks most small teams glue together. One sub, one dashboard, one bill. Agent included.

No pricing change. £5/month for everything Observare does — uptime, SSL, port, cron, webhooks, status pages, and the agent. Five agents per account. 30 monitors of each type. No per-agent upcharge, no host license.

I said the Go agent was next on the roadmap. It's live today. curl -fsSL observare.io/install.sh | sudo sh Observare can now monitor the stuff inside your firewall that cloud checkers can't see. 🧵

@dpratyush02 Notepad++

What is the best note-taking system for developers?

@devoznunes That’s a cool idea.

Founders, I need your help 🚀 I just launched Fydrop — a social network built around location. No followers. No algorithm. Just real posts from people near you. Looking for early users to test it and share feedback 🙌 Fydrop.com

@CodesManikandan We have 5 different alert channels. You can trigger all 5 against a single monitor. No more missed alerts! Come check it out or drop me a DM, I would love to set you up as an external tester.

@ObservareOps yeah that’s pretty much the direction I was thinking too… heartbeat-based feels the simplest I’ve been exploring it more from the alert side though — making sure the failure actually gets noticed and not missed

Lost 23 days of a client's backups because a cron job silently failed. No alert. No email. Nothing. How are you actually monitoring your cron jobs? (be honest 👇) #webdev #devops #programming #buildinpublic #indiehacker

Observare monitors Observare. No mock data — the public status page you see is generated by real monitors running against my own infra. If something actually breaks, you’ll see the outage live before I even notice. Here’s the proof! Would you trust a monitoring tool that doesn’t eat its own dog food?

Quick monitoring tip for solo devs: Set up a cron heartbeat monitor for your daily/weekly jobs. If it misses a beat → instant alert. No more “did that script run last night?” stress. Observare makes this dead simple + bundles it with uptime/SSL. What job do you always forget to check?

Most small operators juggle 4 different tools just to know if their site is up: - Uptime checker (free tier limits) - SSL expiry monitor - Cron heartbeat (usually manual) - Status page (expensive or DIY) I got tired of it. So I bundled everything into one £5/month dashboard. What’s the most annoying monitoring hack you’re using right now?
