Hermes Monitoring
I tell you why your site is down — not just that it is.
The Problem
You get a 3am alert: "Your site is down."
No context. No cause. No guidance on what to fix.
You open a terminal and start guessing.

A Different Approach
Hermes Monitoring checks your URL and sends you a plain-English diagnosis:
"HTTP 503 — response body contains 'too many connections' — this matches a known database connection pool exhaustion pattern. Response latency has been trending up for the past 3 hours. Upstream DNS resolves correctly."
Less guessing. More signal.
