Monitoring that costs less than the outage.

You find out your site is down when someone messages you. Monitoring services fix that and charge monthly per check, which feels absurd for something that is fundamentally a loop and an HTTP request. Uptime Kuma does it properly, with a status page, for the cost of a small server.

Questions

How many things can I monitor?

As many as you want. The limit is CPU, and it is a long way off for normal use.

Can I show customers a status page?

Yes, on your own subdomain, with your own branding and incident notes.

Should it live on the same server as my app?

Ideally not. A monitor on the same box cannot tell you the box is gone. Many people run this on a second small instance.
