## What is Instatus?

Instatus is a modern platform that combines **uptime monitoring**, **incident response**, and **status pages** into one product. It replaces three separate DevOps tools — simplifying your stack and saving money.

Instatus helps you:
1. **Monitor** your services for downtime and performance issues
2. **Fix** incidents collaboratively with your team
3. **Share** your status with customers through beautiful, customizable status pages

## Uptime Monitoring

- Monitor websites, APIs, cron jobs, SSL certificates, DNS, TCP/UDP, and ping
- Checks as frequent as every 30 seconds from multiple global locations
- Real-time alerts via email, SMS, phone calls, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, WhatsApp, push notifications, and webhooks
- On-call scheduling and escalation policies to notify the right people
- Logs and screenshots for debugging

## Incident Response

- Create and manage incidents from the dashboard, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or API
- On-call calendar with rotation schedules
- Escalation policies and routing rules
- Collaborate on incidents with your team through comments
- Post-mortems for learning from outages
- General notices for persistent announcements on your status page
- Integrations with PagerDuty, Jira, Zapier, and more

## Status Pages

- **Public status pages** – Share your service status with all your customers
- **Private status pages** – Restrict access with magic links, IP allowlisting, passwords, Google SSO, or SAML SSO
- **Select Audience pages** – Choose exactly which subscribers can see each page
- Custom domain support (e.g., status.yourcompany.com)
- Fully customizable design with custom code injection
- Multi-language support
- Subscriber notifications via email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, webhooks, RSS, and API
