Recipes
Check recipes: one click to a working monitor.
A recipe is a real check type, real assertions, and a real interval, already picked for a common thing to watch: a webhook endpoint, a managed database, a nightly backup job. Pick one and it lands you in the add-check form with those fields already filled in, ready to review and save.
Every recipe only uses fields the product actually supports. Where a recipe watches a third-party service, that name is there to say what you would be monitoring, not to claim any partnership with it.

Stripe webhook endpoint
Confirm your own endpoint that receives Stripe webhook events is up and answering successfully.

Check the PostgREST endpoint your app's Supabase client talks to.
TCP port
Supabase Postgres
TCP reachability on the direct Postgres connection, for apps that connect to it rather than only through PostgREST.

Ops
Heartbeat (cron)
Nightly backup heartbeat
A push-based check that expects your backup job to ping in once a day, and alerts the moment it stops arriving.
Mail server
Outbound mail server
Confirm your mail server is answering and, optionally, completing STARTTLS.
DNS
DNS record
DNS apex record
Watch your root domain's DNS record for the moment it stops resolving or gets repointed.
New to RealUptime? Create a free account first (10 monitors included), then come back and pick a recipe: it prefills the same add-check form your account already has.
Setting up a specific stack by hand instead? See the integration cookbook for command-line setup guides covering the same stacks.
