Gatus

A public status page whose entire configuration is one YAML file you own: the checks, the pass conditions and the alerting, declared once and served as a page.

Backs these verdicts

Kener

A public status page with the incidents, the maintenance windows and the monitors behind it, all managed in a browser rather than a config file.

Backs these verdicts

Neither page tells you which is "better" — they solve the same jobs differently. Pick by the constraint that binds you: RAM, ARM, license, or how alive the project looks.
