Cloud monitoring for small engineering teams
AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean — and the long tail of infrastructure vendors your stack sits on top of. Pingoru watches every cloud provider's status page and pings your team within 5 minutes of an incident going live.

A cloud-focused monitors list: the three hyperscalers, a CDN/edge vendor (Cloudflare, Vercel), and a PaaS (Heroku). When Azure East US has a multiservice incident, you see it here before your APM shows the downstream effects.
The layer your APM can't see
When a cloud provider has a regional outage, your APM (Datadog,
New Relic, Sentry) tells you something is wrong but not what —
your p95 latency tripled, your error rate spiked, traces timeout
mid-span. You spend the first 20 minutes debugging your own
code before someone checks status.aws.amazon.com and discovers us-east-1 has been having a bad day.
Cloud monitoring closes that gap by watching the clouds directly. Pingoru checks every cloud vendor's status page every 5 minutes; when AWS posts "Elevated error rates on EC2 us-east-1", you see it in your Slack / email / webhook in minutes — before your APM's first downstream alert even fires.
Cloud providers Pingoru already tracks
Amazon Web ServicesPlus every AWS region × every service, GCP (per product), Azure (per region × service via the status grid), Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Linode, Fly.io, Render, Supabase, PlanetScale, Upstash, Railway, and the long tail in the full directory.
Per-region scoping
AWS has 33 regions. Your workload probably touches 2 of them. Monitor just those; skip the rest.
Per-service scoping
Same story for services: subscribe to EC2 + RDS + S3 in your regions, not every one of the 250+ AWS services you don't use.
Maintenance calendar
Cloud vendors announce maintenance days or weeks in advance. The calendar view surfaces upcoming windows so your release planning isn't blindsided by a Tuesday-morning RDS patch.
Multi-cloud unified view
AWS, GCP, and Azure in one dashboard. Running active-active across clouds? See both sides of the failover in the same feed.
Alerts where on-call lives
Route cloud-provider incidents to the on-call channel — Slack, Discord, Teams, PagerDuty (via webhook), or email. Scope per monitor so only the important vendors page.
Priced for small teams
Datadog Cloud Cost or New Relic Cloud would run $500-5,000/mo for small teams. Pingoru covers the cloud-status layer at $15/mo for 50 monitors. Complement your APM instead of replacing it.
Frequently asked
What is cloud monitoring?
Continuously watching the health of the cloud providers your application depends on — the IaaS and PaaS layers like AWS, GCP, and Azure, plus adjacent infrastructure vendors like Cloudflare, Vercel, Heroku, and DigitalOcean. When one of them has an outage you need to know fast, because your own application almost certainly inherits the problem.
How is this different from AWS CloudWatch / GCP Monitoring / Azure Monitor?
Those are the clouds' own internal monitoring tools for YOUR workloads. Pingoru monitors the CLOUDS' OWN STATUS pages — the public incident feed AWS posts when us-east-1 has a regional issue. CloudWatch can't tell you the cloud is broken (it runs on the cloud). Pingoru can, and does.
Multi-cloud support?
Yes — the full matrix. AWS (every region × service), GCP (every product), Azure (per-region, per-service status via their grid), and the long tail: Cloudflare, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Linode, Fly.io, Render, Supabase, Upstash, PlanetScale, and every smaller cloud vendor that publishes a status page.
Can I scope cloud monitoring to just the regions I deploy to?
Yes. Add AWS as a monitor, scope the filter to just EC2 us-east-1 and RDS us-east-1 if that's what your workload touches. You'll never get pinged for a us-west-2 incident that doesn't affect you.
Does Pingoru monitor Kubernetes managed services specifically?
Yes — EKS, GKE, and AKS all appear as distinct components on their respective vendors' status pages, and Pingoru captures them individually. You can scope a monitor to just AWS EKS or just GKE if your workload is Kubernetes-centric.

Your cloud providers don't email you when they break.
We do. Free for 5 monitors. $15/mo for 50. No credit card.
