The IsUpMap lets you check the status of over 100 major sites at once

But then, the home page can be cached, and bots can be batched and nobody would ever notice the difference.
I've been building something like this for 12 years now.
One major difference is mine does not only rely on the "official" status page but also receive millions of reports from users about outages.
So your single pane of glass can show not just known outages but emerging ones that haven't been acknowledged yet by providers.
Also supports more than 8,000 services.
There is still a tendency within some parts of aviation (safety auditing) to look for root causes and use tools like "fish bone diagrams" despite the more holistic approach used after an actual crash or incident.
you're it does not.
> Most of these have no relation to each other other than the high level services on the cloud providers.
so, some of them are related to each other? some of them even share underlying infrastructure? perhaps multiple of these are considered infrastructure for some teams?
what is the point you're trying to make?
My toaster and the dam 1000 miles away are on the same electrical grid. Calling my toaster part of the electrical generation system because it consumes from it doesn’t make sense.
Coming back to the dashboard example, almost none of those work together to provide some kind of combined outcome you would expect from complex systems analysis (e.g. electrical generation, healthcare, etc).
If all of the boxes were ISPs instead, it would be a great example. Because they all work together to provide IP connectivity to the world and many can be down while the overall internet continues to function.
I run an outage detection service - and some of these issues, like parsing hundreds of - sometimes undocumented - status APIs, make for an interesting engineering problem.
And what does it mean exactly?
And those are just the 2 that I checked.
To be fair, accurately scraping and normalizing data from status pages is really hard to to do consistently (my company has a team of 5 engineers to do it and it's a lot of work).
Does the size indicate anything?
If you're drawing the data from a public resource like downdetector or using the sites status pages, then you may not be reflecting reality, but it should be clear what the provenance of the data is.
