About Probecast
Monitoring + Revenue Intelligence for indie founders on the modern stack.
Our Story
Probecast was born from a real frustration: modern products depend on dozens of external services — public APIs, hosting providers, databases, payment processors, email platforms — and when any of them breaks, you're the last to know.
We observed that solo founders and small teams had no single place to see the full picture: public API status, their own custom endpoints, infrastructure health and how all of that connected to business impact. Existing tools were either too narrow or too complex.
We created Probecast to solve this: the monitoring layer for indie founders running on the modern stack. Track public APIs, your own endpoints, infrastructure health and revenue impact — all in one place, per product, in real time.
Our Mission
"Give indie founders a single place to see when their APIs fail, how incidents affect revenue, and what to do about it — without needing a DevOps team."
What We Do
Full Stack Visibility
Monitor public APIs, your own custom endpoints, websites and infrastructure providers — all in one place, grouped by product.
Instant Alerts
Real-time notifications via Email, Slack, Teams, or custom webhooks the moment anything in your stack goes wrong.
Revenue & Business Impact
Correlate API incidents with revenue impact. See exactly what a Stripe degradation or Resend outage costs — and get AI-powered postmortem reports.
Public Status Pages
Customizable status pages per product, with uptime badges and transparent incident history for your customers.
Why We Exist
You can't fix what you can't see
Modern products depend on dozens of external services. A single silent failure can cascade into lost revenue, broken user experiences and hours of debugging. Visibility is the first step.
Context turns noise into knowledge
Alerts without context are just noise. Probecast groups your monitors by product, correlates incidents across your stack and surfaces what actually matters — per product, in real time.
Setup in minutes, value in hours
Complex tools require too much time to set up and maintain. Probecast is designed for solo founders and small teams — connect your stack, configure alerts and start knowing. We take care of the rest.

About the Founder
Filipe Alcantara
Founder, Probecast
Brazilian engineer turned entrepreneur with 20+ years navigating the tech world — from big telcos and global consulting firms to software houses and product startups.
That journey — constantly depending on third-party APIs and watching critical integrations silently fail — planted the seed for Probecast. The monitoring layer for indie founders who need to know when things break and what it costs them.
