cState

cState is an open-source static status page generator for publishing service status, incidents, and maintenance updates. It is built as a Hugo theme, producing a fast, serverless site that can be hosted on any static hosting platform.

Key Features

• Static, serverless output with minimal JavaScript and broad browser compatibility
• Incident history and current status by component/category
• Config-driven customization (text, styling, structure) with multilingual support
• Optional Git-based CMS workflows (for example, Netlify CMS) for non-technical editing
• Read-only API and RSS feeds for external integrations
• Badges/shields and embeddable status elements for other sites

Use Cases

• Public status page for SaaS products and APIs
• Internal status portal for teams that want Git-based change history
• Lightweight incident postmortem and downtime tracking without a dynamic backend

Limitations and Considerations

• Does not provide automatic uptime monitoring or real-time checks out of the box; incidents are published manually or via external tooling

cState is a good fit when you want a simple, fast, highly portable status page with a Git-first workflow. It pairs well with external monitoring systems that trigger updates while keeping the status page itself static and reliable.
