https://onlineornot.com is "just" a Next.js app with a database that calls a lambda function over a million times a week (website/API monitoring).

There's also a slightly more complicated part that runs a Chrome browser to check React/JS SPAs.

Are you using a backend? I think you would need at least at thin layer to manage your users, auth, etc...

Where did you get inspiration for your landing page? I have seen a ton of apps that look similar to this.

How is your hosting structured to ensure you don’t have downtime?

The web app itself is completely isolated from the Lambda function doing the work, so that part can have downtime while the service keeps checking and sending alerts.

On top of that, there's a bit of replication across regions (and soon across cloud vendors), so if an entire AWS region goes down (happened twice last month), the checks keep on checking.
