A CLI tool for monitoring website uptime, performance, and SSL certificates with real-time alerts and multi-region support.
Updo is a command-line tool for monitoring website uptime and performance. It checks website status, response times, and SSL certificate expiry in real-time, providing alert notifications via webhooks and desktop alerts. It solves the problem of ensuring service reliability with a lightweight, scriptable interface.
Developers, sysadmins, and DevOps engineers who need to monitor website or API availability from the command line or integrate uptime checks into their CI/CD pipelines.
Developers choose Updo for its CLI-first design, multi-region monitoring capabilities, and seamless integration with Prometheus and Grafana. Its flexibility in HTTP requests and alerting, combined with support for structured JSON logging, makes it a versatile alternative to heavier SaaS monitoring solutions.

Deploys across 13 global regions for distributed monitoring, enabling geographic coverage without manual server management, as shown in the README's AWS Lambda deployment section.
Exports metrics seamlessly for visualization and long-term storage, with pre-built dashboards and Docker examples provided, making it easy to integrate into existing observability stacks.
Supports custom headers, POST/PUT requests, SSL verification options, and response assertions, allowing detailed API monitoring and validation directly from the CLI.
Automatically formats notifications for Slack and Discord based on URL patterns, reducing configuration overhead with rich, color-coded messages as described in the webhook examples.
Multi-region monitoring requires AWS CLI setup with specific IAM permissions for Lambda, IAM, and STS, adding deployment steps and potential security management overhead.
Relies solely on webhooks and desktop notifications; lacks native support for email, SMS, or other common alerting methods without custom integration, which may necessitate additional tools.
Visualization depends entirely on external tools like Grafana; there's no built-in web interface for real-time monitoring or historical data viewing, requiring extra setup for dashboards.
