Phare just hit 500 hosted status pages. 🎉
This is a big milestone and the craziest part is that this number will more than double before the end of the year.
Cheers to everyone using it, on to the next 500.
Phare status pages just got a big upgrade 🌗
You can now fully customise the design with flexible colours, layout styles, and... dark mode is finally here! There’s also a full uptime and incident history view, plus a new RSS feed for pushing updates straight into Slack.
You can now pull Phare monitor data into SquaredUp and build dashboards alongside the rest of your stack. This makes it easier to share monitor status, track health, and keep everything in one place.
Thanks to the @squaredup.com team for the collaboration.

No more clicking around on the dashboard, grab an API key and write code (or ask an AI to do it for you). Define HTTP(s) and TCP monitoring checks, alert rules, and status pages as code, just like you do with the rest of your infra.
The long-awaited first-party Phare Terraform provider is now in beta and ready for you to automate your monitoring setup with infrastructure as code.
There's also 10 new API endpoints to play with! It's finally possible to manage projects and incidents programmatically, which allows for all kind of automatic / agentic workflows.
🤖 Phare got a lot more programmable!
You can now create organization-scoped API keys that give you access to all the projects in your org, perfect for small teams, or infrastructure provisioning (is that a spoiler?).
⏱️ More control over incident timing in Phare
Incidents can now be created with precise start and end times, adjusted if detection was late, or created for events that already happened.
You can also choose what kind of update is published at creation time, with full flexibility to add more later.
Phare was selected to join @bunny.net Hopstart program and placed 1st 🥇 in the first cohort !
It’s great validation from a European company that builds serious infrastructure and supports people shipping genuine products.

Basically, a small handcrafted IDE inside Phare ☀️
The JSON editor also got a big boost with highlights on valid placeholders and loops, warns on invalid tokens, suggested entities as you type, and a full screen mode.
🏗️ Webhooks in Phare just got a serious upgrade
Payload schemas now support loops and clearer templating, all default schemas were revamped to expose more data out of the box.
Happy to partner with @ilert.bsky.social on this native integration to provide on-call teams with AI-first incident management.
Even better, this is a partnership between two European companies, strengthening the observability stack in Europe 🇪🇺
Big thanks to the ilert team for the collaboration 🙌
💰 Curious about Phare’s business metrics?
An open stats dashboard is now live, showing real numbers: user registrations, monitors created, alert volume, revenue, costs, all in the open.

Earlier this month, Phare migrated its billing from Stripe to Paddle for proper VAT handling, and fewer US dependencies. The billing experience was also improved, with better cost forecasting and clearer payment flows.
Same price, same features. A solid start to 2026 🥳
* Speed and SLA may be reduced on days the servers decide to go on strike.

🎨 New in Phare: Refreshed Dashboard Design
The dashboard got a proper with full-width layouts, a search box to quickly find that monitor hiding on page 3, and filters to narrow things down to exactly what you need.
A small UI refresh, but a massive quality-of-life boost 👌
European flag merged with the so good meme
The pure bliss of running on 100% European 🇪🇺 infrastructure is that nobody notices when you go down, but you can still brag about being up when everyone else is affected by the Cloudflare outage.
🤯 New in Phare: Incident AI
Incidents now come with AI-generated summaries and post-mortems, automatically giving you a clear overview of what happened, no manual write-ups required.
Powered by Mistral’s Magistral Small model, and it’s already available on all plans!
As usual, full details can be found in the documentation

When combined with the recent release of thread notification, this makes incident tracking a lot clearer and less noisy.
If you already have a Phare account, visit your project settings to activate this feature, and configure the two new alert rules.
