Prologue: Is it down? is a server side rendered application intended to show the statuses of domains. Influence from isitdown.com and downdetector.com but with a twist of being OS and developed with an intended use of tactical domains. This application intends to be as lightweight as possible, meaning with a few configuration files a docker container you can replicate this yourself. The backend is written in Python which utilizes Flask as a lightweight webserver framework which is connected to a MySQL instance. I am not a frontend developer, I am utilizing Bootstrap 5 and jQuerey to interact with the backend when needed. I am trying to limit the communication the frontend has with the back to maintain security, hence server side rendered. I intend to move the Bootstrap to use USWDS components.

Feel free to make pull requests, refactor my code, add features or anything you are comfortable with! Open Source is amazing and everyone is welcome! To get started read Getting Started.

This application was built using my own Full-Stack template which is intended for cloud.gov Cloud Foundrys platform.
