Independent checks
Probes check endpoint responses. A passing check does not confirm that a customer action worked.

| Passing checks | No checks recorded | 100.000% 2,880 conclusive checks |
| Response time95th percentile | No successful checks | 165 ms |
Response time uses successful checks only: 95% returned within this duration. Different endpoints and regions can produce different results.

What the incident records say
Recorded starts in the same 30-day window, excluding maintenance. Vendors report incidents differently; fewer posts don’t prove better reliability.
| Last 30 days | AWS | Azure |
|---|---|---|
| Incidents recorded | 1 | 3 |
| Recorded incident durationMedian | Too few dated records 1 valid duration | Too few dated records 3 valid durations |
Duration uses at least 5 incidents with vendor-supplied starts and recorded closure times. First-observed starts are excluded. A record may close when a post disappears or our tracking period expires; this does not confirm recovery. A missing closure time does not mean an outage is ongoing.
