These activities normally require developers to work individually through a terminal, but the patchwork solutions that allow teams to work together in terminals all have significant drawbacks.
Containers are nearly ubiquitous in software these days. Outside of abstractions like fully managed services (RDS, Dynamo, Cloud SQL), everything engineering teams are responsible for, mostly, land in containers. For many, deciding what platform to run those containers on is a burning question. Choosing the wrong container management solution can be a real headache.
Your status page (or lack thereof) has the opportunity to signal a lot about your brand — how transparent you are, how quickly you respond to incidents, how you communicate with your customers — and ultimately, this all seriously impacts your reliability.
