Is it really? I get the value of eating your own dogfood, it improves things a lot.

But your status page? Such a high importance, low difficulty thing to build that dogfeeding it gives you small amount of benefits (dogfeed something bigger/more complex instead) in the good case, and high amount of drawback when things go wrong (like when your infrastructure goes down, so does your status page). So what's the point?

I can really imafgine what happened: Engineer wants to host dashboard at different provider for resilience. Manager argues that they cant do this, it would be embarassing if anybody found out. And why choose another provider? Aws has multiple AZs and cant be down everywhere at the same moment. Engineer then says „fu it“ and just builds it on a single solution.
