About HowlOps
A monitoring platform built for developers and DevOps teams who need reliable infrastructure monitoring without the complexity of enterprise tools.
Why we built HowlOps
We built HowlOps because we were tired of paying for three different SaaS tools: uptime monitoring, heartbeat monitoring, and on-call management. HowlOps combines all three in one platform that is simple to use and fairly priced.
Our goal is to make high-quality monitoring accessible to every team, from solo developers running a side project to engineering teams managing mission-critical infrastructure.
What we believe
Monitoring should be simple to set up, not a week-long project
On-call rotations should be built-in, not an expensive add-on
Status pages should be fast and beautiful by default
Developers deserve tools that get out of the way
What HowlOps monitors
HTTP/HTTPS uptime checks (keyword and status code validation)
Heartbeat monitoring (cron jobs and background tasks with configurable grace periods)
AI-powered Heartbeats: learns the natural cadence of variable-runtime jobs
On-call rotations (schedules, escalation policies, and incident management)
Public Status Pages (branded pages with incident timeline and subscriber notifications)
