Boop Makes Monitoring Stats Public

DEV Community •

Most monitoring services hide their numbers. Boop, a monitoring company, decided to do the opposite. They launched a live dashboard at boop.one/live, showing real-time performance data without requiring a login. The page displays checks per minute, regional latency, success rates, and SSL certificate status, offering complete transparency into their infrastructure's health.

Boop's decision stems from a core belief: if they advocate for uptime, they must prove their own. Public stats demonstrate scale—330,000+ checks in 24 hours—and build trust by answering key questions about reliability and global coverage before a customer signs up. This accountability pressures the company to maintain quality for anyone viewing the page.

The dashboard pulls from a public API, refreshing every 15 seconds. Data includes metrics from four regions: US-East, US-West, EU-Central, and Asia-Pacific. Boop learned that public stats not only drive internal accountability but also serve as an effective marketing tool, attracting developers who value transparency and want similar visibility for their own systems.
