tracking the slow heat death of the internet, one status page at a time
The Death Index is a single number (0–100) representing the overall reliability of the internet's most critical services. We aggregate public incident data from 51 major providers across cloud infrastructure, developer tools, productivity apps, and more — then compute a composite score. The closer to midnight, the worse things are. How it works →
