Introducing DevTools.ink: A Real-Time Developer Service Status Dashboard – Your Feedback Matters
In the fast-paced world of software development, staying informed about the status of critical services is essential. Frustrated with delays and uncertainty around platform outages, I recently developed a new tool to improve visibility into the health of popular development platforms.

What Is DevTools.ink?
DevTools.ink is a simple yet powerful online dashboard designed to provide real-time updates on the operational status of key developer services including GitHub, npm, Vercel, Docker Hub, AWS, and more. The platform offers:

The Technology Behind DevTools.ink
This project leverages modern web development tools, including:
- Next.js 14 for the frontend framework
- Redis (via Upstash) for real-time cache and data management
- n8n workflows to automate status updates and integrate with various APIs
A Real-World Scenario
Just yesterday, I experienced npm issues that I initially thought were related to my setup. A quick visit to DevTools.ink revealed it was a regional problem, preventing hours of unnecessary debugging. That simple check saved me valuable time and frustration.
