6. KVK - Minimal design with scheduled maintenance & multi-language.
7. Stripe - Simple yet effective branding and design.
8. Fastly - Granular view of services nesting.
9. AWS - Grid view with services and regions.
10. GCP - Personalized service health.

1. Fly.io Status Page

Let's start off with Fly.io's status page. They present a simple public status page showcasing each component with its available regions grouped inside so customers can subscribe to the service and region they care about.

What Fly.io does particularly well, however, is their audience-specific status pages, or "personalized status," as they call it. They make them available directly as part of their customer's dashboard and will only display issues specific to each customer's services in use, making it unambiguously clear when an incident affects a given customer.

Since we are users of Fly.io ourselves, we can show you what the personalized status pages look like from Fly.io's dashboard:

Lastly, they also showcase their API success rate in a custom metric at the bottom, which is a nice touch for building trust.

2. Soracom Status Page

Soracom's status page does a great job of customizing its header design according to its branding.

What's also very interesting about Soracom's status page is its use of information notices to communicate important information regarding its systems, so not only do they communicate about incidents and maintenance, but also information events.

We've seen these types of information notices used more and more to communicate product updates, and system changes that don't affect status.

3. Okta Status Page

Okta does a great job at communicating the status of all its services at a glance in a compacted status panel. They also showcase the 30-day history of their incidents in a nicely formatted timeline view.

They also support signing in as administrators for customers to get access to status reports specific to their organizations.

How Okta status page can do better

We do see a small detail that Okta could improve. They could include more notification channels like Webhook, Slack, SMS, or at least emails. Currently, they only support RSS feeds, which is better than nothing 🤷‍♂️.

4. Finmatics Status Page

Finmatics enhances its status page by combining branding and functionality. The branded header immediately grabs attention with its clean design and color scheme, establishing a professional tone for the page.

Furthermore, they also implement multi-language support, allowing their customers to switch from English to German in one click. These languages will also be supported when sending status notifications over Email and RSS, which it supports.

5. Auth0 Status Page

Auth0's is one of our favorite status page examples. Besides the Auth0 status page's nice and minimalistic branded header and footer, there are a few outstanding components to Auth0's status page we'd like to highlight:

Region selector

Auth0 status page displays a global status indicator while also allowing you to select each region in order to display the full status report on them. This is an excellent approach for when the number of services is too large to display all the services in each region at once.

Private cloud login

Auth0 allows users to authenticate directly with their platform credentials to access their audience-specific private status page. If you don't have any, as I do, you'll see a message saying, "No Private Cloud Environments Found."

Environment selector

Auth0 also lets you select from different environments like "Preview" and "Production." This is extremely useful as teams working to integrate Auth0 will regularly use the Preview environment and could also be affected by downtimes and degradation. This way, they can know when this is the case.

6. KVK Status Page

KVK (the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands) does a great job of communicating recurring maintenance events on its status page. Letting their customers know about upcoming maintenance windows ahead of time.

They also have nicely branded header and footer customization and communicate their incident notifications in English as well as Dutch thanks to nicely placed links at their header.

7. Stripe Status Page

Stripe opted for a DIY solution, as far as we can tell. They feature a simple yet nicely branded design with a dark blue background.

Other than that, they provide a fair amount of subscription channels: Email, SMS, Slack, RSS, and Twitter.

8. Fastly Status Page

Fastly's status page effectively communicates the status of its services in great detail. It features up to two levels of nesting and includes tabs to switch between different categories of systems, such as Network, Platform, Compute, Security, and Observability.

Other than that, their design is quite basic, but explicit, with clear legends explaining what the different status icons mean.

9. AWS Status Page

AWS's status page showcases a grid of services by their regions with the status of each one accordingly.

Similarly to Okta, they enable authenticated users to access a personalized status dashboard via an "Open your account health" button.

10. GCP Status Page

GCP's status page is not too different from AWS, to be completely honest with you. What's disappointing about both status pages is that neither supports an easy way to subscribe to notifications without having an account.

But at least GCP's status page does provide easily accessible status page JSON endpoints located at the bottom of their status page.
