I open-sourced the status dashboard I use to watch my cloud vendor stack. The backstory: I audited my old monitoring script this summer and found four separate ways it reported green when it was wrong. The worst one fetched Microsoft's status endpoint, discarded the response, and returned a hardcoded "Operational." It had passed every casual glance for months. The rewrite is built around a single rule: an unverifiable status is unknown, never operational. Null payload, changed vocabulary, bot wall, network error, whatever. If the check didn't verify anything, the row doesn't get to be green. It polls 46 SaaS and cloud vendors' own status pages every 15 minutes (Okta and IBM don't publish real APIs, so those adapters were archaeology), runs on a $5/month Cloudflare Worker with zero runtime dependencies, and answers the oldest question in IT: is it them or is it me? The repo ships with every adapter pinned against recorded vendor payloads, six merge-blocking CI gates, and an OpenSSF Best Practices badge at passing. There's a one-click Deploy to Cloudflare button if you want your own board with your own vendors. Code: https://github.com/bjgreenberg/vendor-dashboard Live board: https://briangreenberg.net/service-status Apache-2.0. Fork it, swap in your vendor list, done.
