How the heartbeat works
Fine
Normal heartbeatThe app is working. Calm, even beats with a long flat pause between them.
- Rate
- 72 bpm
- Beats
- even
- Small bumpThe top of the heart squeezes first.
- SpikeThe main squeeze. Tall and thin means healthy.
- HumpThe heart resetting for the next beat.
- FlatRest between beats. A long rest means a calm pace.
Right now: Atlassian, DigitalOcean, Discord, Dropbox, Figma, GitHub, Netlify, npm, OpenAI, Reddit, Supabase, Vercel
Having issues
Fast heartbeatThe app works but something's off, like slow pages or a feature acting up. Same healthy shape, just faster.
- Rate
- 130 bpm
- Beats
- even, fast
- SpikeStill thin and normal. Only the speed changed.
- Short gapBeats come every 463 ms, so there's barely any rest.
Right now: Twilio
Partial outage
Irregular heartbeatPart of the app is broken. Beats still happen, but the timing is all over the place.
- Rate
- ~110 bpm
- Beats
- uneven
- WobbleA shaky line instead of a clean bump.
- Uneven gapsNo two gaps between beats are the same length.
Right now: Cloudflare
Major outage
No real beatThe app is down. The line is just random noise with no beats at all.
- Rate
- none
- Beats
- none
- NoiseRandom waves. Nothing is working in order.
Right now: nothing
Maintenance
Pacemaker beatPlanned work. A machine sets the pace on purpose, so it's steady but looks a bit mechanical.
- Rate
- 60 bpm
- Beats
- even, set
- TickThe pacemaker firing. A thin line right before each beat.
- Wide beatWider than normal because the machine started it, not the heart.
Right now: nothing
Not answering
Flat lineNo answer. The status page didn't respond, which doesn't mean the app is down.
- Rate
- unknown
- Beats
- none
- FlatNothing came back, usually a timeout.
Right now: nothing
