How I Built a Tool That Warns Me 60 Seconds Before My Site Goes Down

We launched today on Product Hunt:

Would love honest feedback from fellow founders.

Appreciate any thoughts — especially critical ones.

Most monitoring tools ask one question: “Is it up?”
I wanted to answer a different one: “Is it about to go down?”

I kept getting “your site is down” emails — from users, not my monitoring tools. By the time I got the alert, users were already frustrated, support tickets piled up, and revenue was leaking.

That’s when I built ORVO AI, a tiny predictive engine that flags instability 60–90 seconds before downtime.

Why This Matters

A small early-warning window makes a huge difference:

  • Scale servers before a crash
  • Trigger failover
  • Alert your team before users even notice

Traditional uptime monitoring only reacts after the fire starts. ORVO AI gives you time to prevent it.

How It Works (Simplified)

  • Tracks trends + volatility in response times
  • Generates a risk score (0–100)
  • No heavy ML, no GPU, no Kubernetes — just fast math

In stress tests, it reliably warns 60–90 seconds before failure while the site is still technically “up.”

Built With

Node.js + TypeScript, SQLite, single VPS (~$6/month)

Sometimes simplicity wins.

I’m sharing this on Dev.to because feedback from fellow founders and makers is invaluable.

Question: How do you get early warnings for your production systems?
