Estimated Read Time: 4 min
If you’ve ever used a monitoring tool that felt like a spaceship cockpit—clunky, over‑engineered, and too expensive—you’re not alone.
Enterprise-grade suites promise everything from synthetic testing to log aggregation—but sometimes all you need is one thing done really well: uptime alerts.
