OutageDeck tells engineering teams whether an incident is on their side or a vendor's. It reads the official machine-readable status feed that each of 172 cloud and SaaS providers publishes about itself, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, GitHub, OpenAI, Cloudflare and Slack, refreshes about every ten minutes, and translates every vendor's wording into one shared status vocabulary so they can be compared at a glance.
Alerts go to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, email or your own webhook when a vendor you depend on degrades or goes down, and they link back to the vendor's own status entry so any claim can be verified at the source. Provider pages carry independent uptime history and full incident timelines, which is what postmortems need after the fact.
For automation there is a public JSON API with an OpenAPI 3.1 document, embeddable SVG status badges, per-provider RSS feeds, and a remote MCP server so AI coding agents can check vendor status before debugging code. Checking any provider is free and needs no account. Free accounts add email alerts for up to 5 providers; paid plans add the other channels, unlimited providers per alert, and your own custom status feeds.
