I know you were joking, but responding in seriousness - while in general it's worthwhile asking "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", in this particular case, I don't see any issue with Down Detector detecting the Down Detector Down Detector. Assuming they are in different availability zones, using different code, with a different deployment cadence, this approach works quite well in practice.
haha — this is the exact comment i was hoping to see! indeed, i was joking. The Watchmen graphic novel is very important to me as it opened my eyes to the concept of “who watches the watchmen” which I was ultimately eluding to here, albeit extremely facetiously.
See, that's the joke, all of them are on cloudflare/us-west-1 so they all go down together anyway
Time for the META Down Detector - detecting which of the three is down
There's always another asking, "Are you down?" It's a bit of a bop.
You're on that site right now!
