The origin of incident.io goes back to our days building Monzo, a UK-based bank, where Stephen, Pete, and I first crossed paths. As a bank, compliance with numerous regulations was, unsurprisingly, a top priority.

Downtime is inevitable but what sets successful businesses apart is how they handle it. A key part of incident management is incident communication with both internal and external stakeholders. A status page is a crucial tool for maintaining clear communication with users during outages or service interruptions. There are numerous status page providers available with different features. This article will guide you through best practices for selecting a provider that suits your needs.
