Could you build this?

Partial While the dashboard, alerts, and status pages are simple CRUD, running high-frequency (sub-minute/5-second) monitoring across thousands of endpoints without false positives requires reliable distributed worker infrastructure.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a distributed scheduler (e.g., using Go or Rust with Redis/temporal queues) deployed across multiple cloud regions to prevent regional bias. Network probe workers must handle ICMP, cold TCP/TLS sockets, DNS, and HTTP requests at scale while managing connection pools and throttling. The telemetry stream must be aggregated into a time-series database (such as TimescaleDB or ClickHouse) for fast uptime percentage and latency calculation.
