I wanted to try Telegram Bots for a while, and found the perfect excuse. 🤖
Have you ever compulsively refreshed websites you've built, to make sure it's all working fine? Just me?
To fix that, I built a private uptime monitoring dashboard for my deployed projects. I have a Worker checking each public URL every five minutes, D1 stores status and incident history, and then a Telegram Bot alerts me, only when something goes down or recovers.
One-shot prompted, deployed, then checked live system: all four monitored services were healthy in the first scheduled cycle, and the site's production verifier passed 142/142 checks.
⚙️ My takeaway: Peace of mind doesn't come from deploying. It comes from verification.
What do you use to spot problems in your own projects?
