Your API is down. You found out from Twitter.
Kernelworks watches your endpoints and screams in your ops channel the second one breaks. Open source. Zero dependencies.
What it does
Screams first
Slack, Discord or PagerDuty alert within one second of a bad status code. Before the tweets.
--alert slackZero deps
One binary. No node_modules black hole.
4.2 MBWatches latency
Not just up or down. p95 creeping past your budget pings you too.
--p95 300msRuns anywhere
Laptop, CI, or a $4 VPS. It is one process that does one thing.
--daemonConfig in one file
A tiny YAML. No dashboard to click through, no account to make.
kernel.yamlReplays failures
Keeps the last failed request and its full response so you debug the real thing.
