LambStatus is a serverless status page system inspired by StatusPage.io.

With a few clicks, You can build a status page like this:

StatusPage Demo

The demo pages are available:

  • Status page (the page to tell your service's status to your users)
  • Admin page (the page to change your service's status)

Goals of this project

  • Offers an open source and serverless status page system.
  • Offers a pay-as-you-go pricing approach like AWS. We estimate the system takes just $1 to handle 30,000 visitors (see details).
  • Enables you to build and maintain the status page system at minimum effort.

Why Serverless?

Status page system is great with the Serverless architecture, because:

  • It eases your pain caused by the scaling / availability issues. It is terrible if your service is down AND heavy traffic from stuck users stops your status page.
  • It enables you to pay only for what you use. A status page only occasionally gets huge traffic. The system takes only $1 per 30,000 visitors and almost $0 if no visitors.

Apart from the Serverless architecture, LambStatus enables you to:

  • Build and update the system with a few clicks (by the power of the CloudFormation)
  • Choose the AWS region different from your service's region. If both your service and its status page rely on the same region, the region outage may stop both.
