DigitalOcean is a dependency. Monitor what depends on it.
When DigitalOcean has an outage, your app inherits it — and you usually find out from angry users. Nurbak Watch checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from multiple regions and alerts you on Slack, email or WhatsApp the moment your app starts failing, whether the cause is DigitalOcean or you.
