Downhound is an outage aggregator that provides outage information for over 14,000 websites, apps, games & internet providers. As an outage aggregator, Downhound pulls downtime information from hundreds of sources, such as RSS feeds and Twitter status accounts. Downhound lists outages in reverse-chronological list, that includes a list to further details and where to get customer support:[1]. Downhound also lists outages on Twitter[2].
Use cases edit
Downhound was built for two use cases:
Individual users can check Downhound.com to see if a particular online service is down. Oftentimes, individuals are not sure if the problem lies with their own device, account, or Internet connection. Downhound and similar services can help them troubleshoot where the problem lies.
Businesses can use Downhound to help address the problem of cloud stack reliability: the fact that most modern businesses rely on dozens of cloud providers to deliver their services. These can include major infrastructure providers like AWS, to narrow (but still important) services like Calendly. If any of those vendors go down, a business might not be able to serve its customers.
Given that Downhound typically sees about 80 outages a day, or once every 18 minutes, a modern business can face challenges to its online operations multiple times a day. By providing availability information of hundreds of cloud vendors in a UI that simply lists outages, Downhound can be a first stop for operations teams that need to pinpoint the cause of why their online services are not working properly.
