One feature Stackdriver has is “uptime checks,” which enable you to verify the availability of your service and track response latencies over time from up to six different geographic locations around the world. While Stackdriver uptime checks are not as feature-rich as other similar products such as &lt;a href="https://www.pingdom.com/"&gt;Pingdom&lt;/a&gt;, they are also completely &lt;em&gt;free&lt;/em&gt;. For GCP users, this provides a great starting point for quickly setting up health checks and alerting for your applications.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
