Why I built Pulsekeep after missing real downtime

I built Pulsekeep because I missed real production downtime — more than once.

Not because monitoring wasn’t in place, but because:

• alerts were delayed

• one region flapped and triggered noise

• real incidents were buried in dashboards I wasn’t watching

Most uptime tools optimize for features and charts.
I wanted something that optimizes for speed and signal.

So Pulsekeep does one thing:
Detect outages fast, confirm them across regions, and alert only when it actually matters.

Recently I shipped multi-region checks, and the hardest part wasn’t infra — it was defining what “down” really means.
One failing region shouldn’t wake you up.
Consensus > single probes.

Still early (MVP), still iterating, but the principle is fixed:
If everything is up, you shouldn’t hear from us.

Happy to share implementation details or get feedback from anyone running global apps
