Using Elastic Observability as a status page app

Elastic synthetics is an observability solution that we use to measure all kinds of things that we do here at Threatbear. Specifically we use it to monitor whether a service that we provide is available, and it lets us know if it isn’t available (or down in geekspeak). If a system is available, by using Elastic observability, we can know how long a service has been available for as well as the qualitative aspects of the service we provide. For example we can get answers to questions such as “what is the 95th percentile of our latency in milliseconds” or “when does our staging certificate expire”.
