I’ve tried it probably a year ago for a couple of weeks. It was very unreliable and slow for me. Change in uptime status were not picked up very fast and sometimes not at all. Should I give it another try?


In that case, I would say no. Not much has changed in the past few weeks, and GitHub Actions has become increasingly less reliable (i.e., wait times are higher than when we launched Upptime a year ago).

We're exploring a new CLI approach [1] which has the benefit of still running on GitHub Actions scheduled workflows and all bells and whistles like Slack notifications and opening issues, but it can be fully self-hosted with just a CLI command, and will always run in the background. Plus, it'll support GitLab and really any git repository and more status website features. When that's ready, perhaps that would be a better fit.
