Maintenance windows: planned work without false alarms

Planned work should not look like an outage, and should not wake anyone up. Schedule it in advance: customers see it coming, and alerts stay quiet while it happens.

14 days, no commitment. Cancel any time.

How it works

  1. 1

    Schedule the window

    Set a title, a start and an end, and choose the components involved.

  2. 2

    Customers are told

    The notice appears on the status page and subscribers receive an email.

  3. 3

    Alerts stay quiet

    While the window is open, the monitors it covers do not send alerts.

What you get

No false alarms

Your team is not paged for work that you started yourselves.

Advance notice

Customers read about it on the page and in their inbox before it happens.

Per component

Cover one service or all of them.

On the record

Current and upcoming maintenance is listed on the page, so nobody is surprised.

Where it helps

  • Deployments and migrations

    Tell customers about the evening you will move the database.

  • Provider work

    Announce the window your hosting provider gave you.

  • Certificate and DNS changes

    Cover the risky minutes of a planned change.
