There are a lot of Status Page offerings out there, both OSS and SaaS (there's an awesome list here: https://github.com/ivbeg/awesome-status-pages).

At Statsig we wanted something Open Source, as simple as possible, in pure html/js, and that could be hosted/updated entirely via GitHub's infra. We also want the ability to do more frequent updates from our own VMs (more than once every ~30 min, the GH Actions limit). None of those options fit these requirements, so we've built our own page.

Hope it's useful to someone else!



It's using IP2Location Lite (it's the only offering we found that had a lax enough license while still being accurate). They have an accuracy report here that measures it at 99%+: https://www.ip2location.com/data-accuracy

There's also this third party report which measures 80% overall accuracy, but likely higher practical accuracy (eg accuracy in the US/Europe is much higher than 80% and most of your customers might be there): https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~nz247/publications/JSAC2011-Geoloc...
