API
A clear service-health surface for the API endpoints, authentication flows and webhooks your customers build against.
What good looks like
A developer can see the health of authentication, core API requests and webhooks before opening a ticket, while the on-call engineer sees the same incident timeline with the technical detail intact.
What goes wrong without one
A slow auth endpoint turns into reports that every endpoint is broken. Support asks for curl output, customers retry requests, and nobody knows whether the failure is regional, account-specific or global.
What this workload actually needs
HTTP/S checks for an unauthenticated health endpoint, an authenticated request with a scoped service account, and a webhook receiver that verifies the delivery path. DNS and TLS checks cover the public hostname separately.
Rollout checklist
- 01Name components after developer-facing concepts: Authentication, Core API and Webhooks are clearer than internal service names.
- 02Use a dedicated monitoring credential with the narrowest possible scope for authenticated checks.
- 03Publish the difference between degraded and unavailable before the first incident; API consumers need a decision, not a vague colour.
- 04Link the status page from API documentation and the developer dashboard, not only from support replies.
