cState (Status Page)

cState is a fast, open-source status page built with Hugo (the static site generator), designed for simplicity, speed, and zero ongoing maintenance costs. Created by Alex Pliutau and now maintained by the cState community, it has over 2,700 stars as of 2026. Unlike traditional status page services (like StatusPage.io or Atlassian Statuspage) that charge monthly fees and require server-side infrastructure, cState generates a static website that can be hosted for free on Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, AWS S3, or any static file hosting service. Key features include: static site generation (no server-side code or database needed, the entire status page is pre-built HTML/CSS/JS that loads instantly), incident management (creating, updating, and resolving incidents with affected components, severity levels, and timestamped updates), component status tracking (marking components as operational, degraded performance, partial outage, or major outage), scheduled maintenance notices (announcing upcoming maintenance windows with start and end times), customizable theme (colors, typography, logo, and layout via Hugo configuration), multiple language support (i18n with built-in translations for 15+ languages), analytics integration (adding Google Analytics, Plausible, or Matomo tracking), RSS/Atom feed for incident notifications, incident history and RSS archive, custom logo and branding, tabs for organizing incidents by system or category, automatic dark mode support, summary widget for embedding on other websites, Netlify CMS integration (editing incidents and components through a web-based CMS without touching code), and zero-cost hosting (free tier on Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or AWS S3).
