who's building sysadmin dashboards for people who hate sysadmin? like, grafana for humans.

Configured Grafana for all my projects Managed APMs are fine for typical SaaS where most visitors are paying you. But they get expensive quick if you have high traffic sites like job boards, etc. Now self-hosting, own the data, and can give my AI agents direct access for troubleshooting 👌

We built Upright to replace Pingdom at 37signals for monitoring all our services, and now we've open-sourced it too. Global checks, playwright smoke tests (with video recording!), detailed uptime tracking, and feeding into Prometheus + Grafana. Enjoy! https://t.co/QUVv0SyBuI
