Pingdom

The boring tool that saves your reputation.

Author: Andy Orton

At some point, every product learns the same lesson:

uptime isn't a metric - it's reputation.

An original film challenging screen-led consumption.

Users don't remember your average performance. They remember the one time:

  • checkout hung
  • login didn't load
  • the app just spun
  • and nobody said anything for an hour

That's why Pingdom works.

Not because it's clever or complex, but because it forces the right behaviour when things go wrong:

  • you know before users complain
  • someone is accountable
  • fixes start immediately

It's boring. And that's exactly why it protects your reputation.
