# Checkcle uptime

Go-based uptime and status that replaces Pingdom and Statuspage.

**Replaces:** Pingdom / Statuspage

**Tier:** Easy

## Problem

Pingdom plus Statuspage is two products and a public page you do not control. For a handful of HTTP checks, that is theater.

## Stack

- [operacle/checkcle](https://github.com/operacle/checkcle) — Go uptime and monitoring

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| Pingdom Standard | $1,200 | Checkcle on Railway |
| Statuspage starter | $1,200 | Checkcle public status page |

**About $1,200 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: Checkcle as a single Railway service with a volume. Point it at c17 and the stacks you deploy.

## AGENT_PROMPT

```
Deploy operacle/checkcle as a self-hosted Pingdom + Statuspage replacement.

- HTTP/TCP checks for the sites you care about.
- Public status page and alerting (email or webhook into n8n).
- Persist check history on a volume or Postgres, whichever the project supports.
- Add c17.io and each Railway template as the first checks.
```

## FAQ

### Why Go?

Same reason as c17: one binary, cheap to run, easy to read. Checkcle is Dave-shaped.
