An uptime monitoring platform that runs entirely on one Cloudflare Worker with D1. No servers, no containers. It watches my clients, my projects, and my homelab.

3× Proxmox nodes, MikroTik dual-WAN with real failover, and a local AI stack running open models on my own hardware, exposed to the internet through Cloudflare Tunnel without opening a single port.
