About OpenStatus
openstatus is adding the enterprise surface without giving up the self-host story
openstatus is an open-source uptime monitoring and status page platform, shipping small, well-scoped features every week or two. The recent run covers SAML single sign-on, a command menu in the dashboard, CSS-variable theming for status pages, Python and PHP SDKs, and social cross-posting of status updates. Underneath it, an AI chat assistant added in May was made self-hostable against any OpenAI-compatible model in July.
