Original: What Indie SaaS Founders Should Monitor Before Users Complain
Short summary
A practical guide for indie SaaS founders on setting up minimal monitoring before reaching 100 customers. Focus on user-facing reliability: homepage uptime, signup flow health, backend endpoint checks, and response time patterns. The goal is catching breakage that destroys early trust before users complain.
- •Monitor homepage, signup, and key API routes before scaling
- •A green homepage doesn't mean signup works — monitor separately
- •Track response times, not just uptime, to catch slow-but-up issues
