Could you build this?

Partial A basic status checker is easy to vibe-code, but "down for everyone or just you" with response-time history requires probing from many geographic regions, which is real distributed infrastructure.

What it would actually take: A basic version can use a few cloud VMs in different regions running HTTP checks on a schedule, with results stored in a time-series database. Matching a credible global status check needs a multi-region probe network, reliable scheduling at scale, and anti-false-positive logic, which calls for infrastructure and SRE experience.
