OpenAI is rate-limiting. Supabase auth is timing out. Resend isn't delivering password resets. You're the last to find out. Canary Ops monitors your dependencies and alerts you in under 60 seconds.
No credit card. No setup. 10 monitors free forever.
Your AI features silently break. Users see spinners, then leave. By the time you check the status page, you've already lost the session.
Nobody can log in. Nobody can sign up. Your landing page is converting to a brick wall and you're asleep.
Resend has a delivery issue. Users think your app is broken. They try three times, get frustrated, and tweet about it.
10 pre-built monitors for the APIs indie devs actually use. One click to add. No YAML, no config files, no DevOps degree required.
Pick from 10 preset monitors or paste any URL. Stripe, OpenAI, Supabase — they're all one click.
Background health checks run 24/7. No cron jobs to maintain, no infrastructure to babysit.
Down, degraded, or recovered — you'll know within 60 seconds. Not from a customer complaint. From us.
Start free. Upgrade when your app (and your anxiety) grows.
Perfect for side projects and MVPs
For production apps where downtime costs real money
You can. You won't. You're shipping features, fixing bugs, and answering support tickets. Checking 5 status pages every hour isn't realistic — and the one time you skip it is the time something breaks.
Those tools tell you when YOUR server is down. Canary Ops tells you when someone else's API is down and breaking YOUR app. Your server can have 100% uptime while OpenAI is returning 500s. Different problem, different tool.
One missed outage that causes customer churn costs more than a year of Canary Ops. But honestly, start with the free plan. Monitor your 10 most critical dependencies. If it saves you even once, you'll know the answer.
You get an email within 60 seconds with the API name, status code, response time, and when the issue started. When it recovers, you get another email. No noise, no false alarms — just the signal you need.
If those 2-3 APIs are critical to your app (payments, auth, email), then yes. The free plan covers 10 monitors, which is more than enough. The question isn't how many APIs you use — it's how bad it would be if one went down and you didn't know for an hour.
The APIs you depend on have outages every month. Your customers don't care whose fault it is — they blame your app. Set up your first monitor in 60 seconds.
