Introduction

Look, monitoring sucks. Most tools are bloated, confusing, and make simple things complicated. 9n9s is different.

We built 9n9s because we were tired of monitoring tools that require a PhD to set up and cost more than your server bill. This is simple, reliable monitoring without all the bullshit.

Here’s what we do: we watch your stuff and tell you when it breaks. That’s it. No fancy dashboards with pivot tables coming out the ass you’ll never use, no enterprise sales calls, no “comprehensive visibility solutions” – just straightforward monitoring that actually works.

What We Monitor

We’ve got two types of monitors because that’s all you really need:

• Heartbeat Monitors: Your code pings us when it’s doing something. Cron jobs, background tasks, data pipelines – if it can send an HTTP request, we can monitor it. Dead simple.

• Uptime Monitors: We hit your websites and APIs to make sure they’re actually working. Not just returning a 200, but actually doing what they’re supposed to do.

Why We Don’t Suck

Most monitoring tools are built by enterprise companies for enterprise customers who love complexity (and want all of your money). We’re built for developers who just want things to work fast and reliably:

• SDKs that make sense – one line of code and you’re monitoring
• CLI that doesn’t fight you – because sometimes you just want to script things
• Config as code – Terraform, Pulumi, whatever floats your boat
• REST API – because you’re probably going to automate this shit anyway
• Team features – RBAC, 2FA, all that security stuff your boss wants
• Status pages – so your users know what’s broken before they email you (and what’s up with charging thousands of dollars for a fucking status page??????)
