what AI can build

Build an automated endpoint uptime monitoring service pinging target URLs every 60 seconds, logging response latencies, and sending failure webhooks.

A cron loop, a fetch, an alert webhook, and a status page. The $30/mo is for the dashboard gloss.

the prompt

Curated prompt
Build me an uptime monitor like UptimeRobot. Requirements:

- A config file (monitors.json) listing URLs with: name, interval seconds,
  timeout, expected status code, and an optional keyword the body must contain.
- A single long-running Node or Python process that checks each monitor on its
  interval, records results (SQLite: timestamp, status, latency ms), and tracks
  state transitions.
- On DOWN or RECOVERED transitions (after 2 consecutive fails to avoid flaps):
  send a webhook (Discord/Slack/Telegram format, URL from .env) with the monitor
  name, error, and duration of the outage.
- A public /status page: green/red per monitor, uptime % over 24h/7d/30d, and a
  latency sparkline drawn as inline SVG. Auto-refresh every 30s.
- Keep 90 days of history, prune older rows daily.
- One process, no queue, no Docker required; systemd unit file included.

questions

Can AI replace Better Stack?

Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.

How much does Better Stack cost?

Better Stack is listed at about $30/month (paid plan, checked 2026-07-29), or $360 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Better Stack?

Honestly: global multi-region probes; on-call scheduling & escalation policies; incident timelines and postmortem tooling; phone-call alerts. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Better Stack?

Yes — Uptime Kuma (beloved self-hosted uptime monitor). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
