Introducing up0: Zero-tolerance uptime monitoring
Meet up0, the uptime monitoring platform built for global infrastructure. Multi-region monitoring, latency tracking, and SLO management—all in one place.
up0 Team
Today, we're excited to announce the public release of up0: zero-tolerance uptime monitoring for modern infrastructure.
The Problem We're Solving
If you're running a global application, you know the pain. Your monitoring dashboard shows everything is green. Alerts aren't firing. Your infrastructure looks healthy. But users in certain regions are experiencing slow responses, timeouts, or complete outages.
This isn't a hypothetical problem. It happens to thousands of teams every day.
The issue? Most monitoring solutions treat your entire infrastructure as a single black box. They monitor from your primary region or a single global endpoint. They miss regional degradation, localized outages, and performance differences across geographies.
A 50ms response time in us-east-1 means nothing when users in Tokyo see 800ms. Regional performance gaps create bad experiences and erode user trust.
Introducing up0
up0 is built from the ground up to solve this problem. We provide complete visibility into system health, performance, and reliability across every region that matters to your users.
What Makes up0 Different
Multi-region monitoring from day one
- Monitor from 20+ regions across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond
- Detect regional outages before they affect your users
- Get granular data on performance differences between regions
- Understand your users' actual experience, not just aggregate metrics
Precise latency tracking
- Monitor p50, p95, p99 latencies for every endpoint
- Track performance trends over time
- Set custom thresholds for each region
- Understand performance distribution, not just averages
SLO management built-in
- Define SLOs that match your business requirements
- Track compliance in real-time
- Understand your error budget
- Make data-driven decisions about when to deploy
Key Features
1. HTTP/HTTPS Monitoring
Monitor any HTTP endpoint from multiple regions. Set custom headers, request bodies, and authentication. Get real-time alerts when services fail.
GET https://api.example.com/health
Regions: US, EU, APAC
Interval: 60 seconds
Timeout: 10 seconds
2. Multi-Region Health Checks
Run identical health checks from 20+ regions simultaneously. Compare performance across geographies. Identify regional issues in real-time.
Results from latest check:
us-east-1: 200 OK (42ms)
eu-west-1: 200 OK (38ms)
ap-south-1: 200 OK (120ms) - P95: 180ms
3. Latency Percentiles
Track response time distribution with p50, p95, and p99 percentiles. Understand not just average performance, but tail latencies that affect user experience.
4. SLO Tracking
Define service level objectives and monitor compliance. Track your error budget in real-time. Know exactly how much degradation you can tolerate before breaching your SLO.
5. Incident Alerting
Get notified instantly when something breaks. Multiple notification channels: email, Slack, webhooks, PagerDuty. Flexible alerting rules that match your operational requirements.
6. Historical Analytics
View performance history over any time range. Understand trends and patterns. Correlate performance changes with deployments and infrastructure changes.
Designed for DevOps and SRE
up0 is built by engineers who understand the pain of managing global infrastructure. We've included the features that matter:
- Alert Fatigue Prevention: Smart alerting rules reduce noise while catching real issues
- Detailed Incident Context: See exactly what failed, where, and when
- Integration Ready: Webhooks, APIs, and integrations with your existing tools
- Real-time Dashboard: Visual representation of system health across regions
- Export and Analysis: Export data for further analysis in your tools
The Data Matters
We process millions of health checks daily from distributed probe servers across the globe. Every data point is exact—no sampling, no estimation. You get the real picture of your infrastructure.
Real Example: Global E-commerce Platform
One of our beta customers is a global e-commerce platform with users across 50+ countries. They discovered that while their primary region performed excellently (42ms response times), their APAC services were consistently seeing 400ms+ latencies.
By monitoring from multiple regions simultaneously, they:
- Identified the specific regions affected
- Found the root cause: suboptimal routing through a specific ISP
- Adjusted their CDN configuration
- Reduced APAC latencies by 60%
- Improved customer satisfaction in those regions
Without multi-region monitoring, they would have never known this problem existed.
Getting Started
Starting with up0 takes minutes:
- Create an account at up0.io
- Add your endpoints with a few clicks
- Choose your regions to monitor from
- Set your thresholds and alerts

We provide a free tier to get started, plus paid plans for teams with more complex requirements.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. We're working on:
- DNS monitoring across regions
- TCP/UDP monitoring for non-HTTP services
- GraphQL endpoint monitoring
- Custom synthetic scenarios
- Advanced analytics and reporting
- Integration with major observability platforms
Our Promise
up0 is built on a simple promise: zero blind spots, zero compromises. We won't hide data, we won't average away your problems, and we won't let you miss regional issues.
Your systems are truly UP when they're up everywhere, for everyone.
