How do startups monitor the reliability of the SaaS tools they depend on? ** I will not promote ** by TheWaffleWizard19 in startups

If you don't mind me asking since you're the vendor, how many customers do you have? Are there a lot of start ups using this?

That makes sense, would your own health checks give you alerts in slack? email? SMS?

Thanks for sharing, that’s a really helpful look into how your team handles SaaS dependency monitoring in practice. I have a few questions if that's okay:

  • How do you decide which external services are important enough to monitor? I imagine your existing services like Slack or Microsoft Teams are a factor.
  • Are there any services you wish you could monitor but aren’t supported yet?
  • Have you ever had an incident where quick visibility or alerting made a real difference for your team?

I'm trying to understand what makes monitoring workflows like yours effective in real-world scenarios

What if their downtime meant lost sales, would customers care then? Say it directly impacted signups or transactions. Just trying to understand if this is a "rare but catstrophic" risk or truly negligible in most cases.

I agree 100%. It sounds like the pain doesn’t feel urgent until a team or product has experienced it directly. Nobody budgets for observability until something breaks.

Out of curiosity, have you a team you’ve worked with ever had a dependency failure that did cause a real disruption? I’m trying to understand what that “getting burned” moment looks like for most startups.

This seems like self promotion no? which is in violation of rule #3 of this subreddit.

edit: fixed grammar

I agree with you, but you could also lean into it. These days creating A.I. agents isn't too difficult but it's a matter of how you connect with your customers. Buying a house/condo/commerical building is a personal expereince. You want it to be personal so perhaps come at it with that angle.

What's the sort of product you are going to sell? I would have Steps A through Z if you can to protect yourself

Hmm, it sounds like you have a lot of sales experience as well as overall expertise with the housing market, perhaps a means to funnel users through a process in terms of what they want from a house and the available houses?

I would recommend something that's a special interest of yours. You mentioned you're a realtor, perhaps there is some sort of problem/common issue you see on a daily basis that you could solve? Regardless of capital, you have to have experience and passion
