Every API must maintain a public status page that reports current health, active incidents, and scheduled maintenance in real time. I require that consumers be able to check the state of an API themselves rather than filing a ticket to learn whether the provider already knows about an outage. A status page is how a provider communicates honestly during the moments that matter most, and it is the difference between transparency and silence when things go wrong. I hold a discoverable, well-maintained status page as a production-grade requirement for building trust.

Monitoring is how I keep a promise of reliability. Uptime checks, health endpoints, and alerting tell me an API is doing its job before consumers have to tell me it is not. Monitoring is the differ...
