About UpMonkey
24/7 monitoring so simple, a monkey could set it up.
Our Story
UpMonkey was born from a simple frustration: serverless platforms are amazing for cost savings, but cold starts kill user experience. Your first visitor waits 10 seconds while your function spins up. They bounce. You lose a customer.
We built UpMonkey to solve this problem. Keep your instances warm without the complexity of custom scripts, cron jobs, or third-party monitoring tools that cost more than your entire infrastructure budget.
Our Mission
To make uptime monitoring and cold start prevention accessible to everyone—from solo developers deploying their first side project to teams running production services at scale.

No complex setup. Just paste your URL and you're monitoring in seconds.
