## The Hook

OpenStatus puts status pages and uptime monitors in your repo — infra-as-code monitoring agents can update.

## What's Good

AGPL-3.0 (openstatusHQ/openstatus). Monitors + status pages with Terraform/CLI/MCP surfaces; self-host via small Docker image or use hosted. Cloud Hobby free: 1 monitor, 1 status page (3 components), 10m min interval (openstatus.dev). Paid from ~$30/mo.

## The Catch

AGPL-3.0 — network copyleft on modifications you ship as a service. free cloud: one monitor / one page / 10m checks — fine for a side project, not a fleet. Vs Better Stack / Checkly-class SaaS, OpenStatus wins on OSS+IaC; you trade managed depth for license+self-host ops.

## Verdict

AGPL status/uptime as code. Free Hobby is tiny; self-host or pay when monitors multiply.
