On June 14, Vercel's FRA1 region in Frankfurt threw errors for ~22 minutes while Vercel rerouted to Paris. If your one uptime monitor never runs through Frankfurt, you saw 100% green the entire time. The catch isn't a better assertion. It's coverage. velprove.com/blog/vercel-fr…

June 12: Supabase Storage in us-west-2 ran slow for ~9 hours and still returned 200s the whole time. A status-code check stays green through that. What catches it is a response-time threshold near your warm p95, run from more than one region. velprove.com/blog/supabase-…

A native app is a thin client. The App Store listing is five stars, the homepage returns 200, and every user sees a spinner because the login endpoint is down. Monitor the API your iOS and Android app actually calls. Free, no code: velprove.com/blog/monitor-m…

Your uptime check on an app behind Cloudflare Access is lying to you. It follows the 302, lands on the Access login page (returns 200), and reports green having never reached your app. Monitor it for real with a service token: velprove.com/blog/monitor-c…

Your headless CMS confirms it published. It never confirms the build ran, the deploy succeeded, or the page went live. Contentful, Sanity, and Strapi all stop at the publish. Probe the live URL and assert a per-publish content canary. velprove.com/blog/monitor-h…

Your Shopify app gets about 5 seconds to ack a webhook: 1s to connect, 5s total, and only a 200 counts. Miss 8 in a row and the subscription can vanish. Most devs hear it from an angry merchant first. Monitor the receiver endpoint, no code: velprove.com/blog/monitor-s…

Your homelab monitor runs on the same box as your app. When the box dies, the monitor dies with it. It cannot send the alert. A second Pi nearby does not fix this either, it shares your home internet and power. What actually catches it: velprove.com/blog/monitor-s…

A TLS certificate that auto-renews on schedule can still take your site down. The new cert is on disk. Your server keeps serving the old one from memory until it reloads. A "days remaining" check stays green the whole time. Two more ways this fails: velprove.com/blog/ssl-renew…
