// Why we exist
Most hosts crash. We watch so you don't notice.
The scene is full of servers that die at the worst moment and take your evening with them. We're building the opposite: every server watched by monitoring that wakes us, and issues caught in minutes — before your session is the thing that finds them.
Monitoring that pages us, not you.Live
monitoring — alerts wake us, not you
