Overview

CheckUpstream Documentation.

CheckUpstream is the platform engineer your team doesn't have: it learns your dependencies from your code, alerts only on incidents that touch them, and tracks the SLA credits you're owed when vendors break their promises. These docs cover setup, core concepts, SDKs, and alert channels — across 235+ monitored services and 25 ecosystems.
