About StatusPal

StatusPal Next ships Global Services and real-time Slack notifications, widening the gap with Classic.

StatusPal runs two parallel product lines — Classic and Next — both under active development but diverging in architectural scope. Classic focuses on incremental reliability: monitoring flexibility via custom JSONPath checks, account management polish, and language handling improvements. StatusPal Next is where structural changes land: Global Services (cross-container service management), SCIM provisioning for SSO organizations, a monitoring checks history, and now real-time Slack notifications for status page updates.
