Platform Health

Alloy provides a real-time status page and a healthcheck endpoint to help you identify if Alloy's platform is up and running, or if there are issues Alloy is actively investigating.

Platform Health

Status Page

Alloy maintains a status page that reflects platform health in real time, including active incidents, degraded services, and resolved events.

You can subscribe to email notifications from Alloy's status page, which proactively notify you of:

  • New incidents or service degradations as they are identified
  • Updates to ongoing investigations, including scope and root cause
  • Resolution notifications once an issue has been remediated

The status page is updated two ways:

  • Programmatically — when an incident threshold is triggered.
  • Manually — by Alloy's on-call engineering team as incidents are acknowledged, triaged, and resolved.

Important: The status page is the source of truth for incident status, but is not intended for programmatic actions — such as determining whether to queue events or applications for retry. Use API response data for that purpose.

Healthcheck Endpoint

Alloy provides a /healthcheck endpoint that confirms basic API connectivity. It indicates whether Alloy's API is reachable, but not whether specific services or workflows are operating correctly.

Best Practice: Use /healthcheck for lightweight connectivity checks only (e.g., during deployment verification). For meaningful health signals, rely on API response data and Alloy's status page.
