With the adoption of agile microservices, enterprise IT teams have rapidly transitioned from managing pets (physical and virtual servers) to cattle (public cloud services) to now chickens (containerized infrastructure).

Next to our standard uptime monitoring through GET requests, we've added support for POST, PUT & PATCH methods too.
