We’re rolling out Early Warning Signals to yet another place your team works every day: Discord. With this release, nearly all of our chat integrations now deliver Early Warning Signals—bringing you proactive outage alerts no matter where your team collaborates. Already available by email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, and webhooks, Early Warning Signals are now live in Discord too—closing the gap and making sure your team is covered wherever you communicate.

In August, StatusGator’s Early Warning Signals detected hundreds of global service outages before official provider acknowledgments were published. Our alerts notified users early on—often minutes before providers confirmed issues—giving IT teams the critical lead time to respond. Below, we highlight three of the most significant outages we tracked in August, followed by a curated selection of other notable disruptions.

August was a big month at StatusGator. From major improvements to Early Warning Signals to new privacy controls and expanded service coverage, we shipped a range of updates to make monitoring even more powerful for your team. Here’s a recap of everything we rolled out last month.

Good news – Early Warning Signals are now available in Google Chat! This means you’ll get real-time alerts about possible outages—before providers officially acknowledge them—delivered right where your team is already chatting and collaborating.

StatusGator is beloved by teams across the world for its internal team status page that shows the status of all your third party services. We’ve rolled out two new privacy features to give you more control over how your status page is shared and discovered.

We’re excited to announce that Early Warning Signals — proactive alerts that notify you of potential service issues before official acknowledgment—are now fully supported in StatusGator Webhooks. With Early Warning Signals delivered through your webhook integrations, you can detect early signs of trouble and act before a full incident is posted. This means more time to prepare, fewer surprises, and better uptime for your customers.

Earlier this year, we launched the StatusGator Women in Tech Scholarship to support and empower women pursuing careers in technology. We are thrilled to announce that our 2025 scholarship recipient is Lara Djukic, an inspiring young technologist whose vision blends innovation with a deep commitment to her community. Through the Bold.org scholarship platform, we’ve award Lara a $3,100 scholarship.

As promised, we’re continuing to expand our Early Warning Signals coverage. In addition to our recent integrations for Slack, SMS, and Webhooks, we’re excited to announce that Early Warning Signals now works in Microsoft Teams. This is another step toward making early outage alerts accessible wherever your conversations happen.

Throughout July 2025, StatusGator detected several major outages impacting millions of users worldwide. From messaging services to satellite internet, these incidents disrupted critical tools and workflows. Here are the top five outages we monitored this month.
