Stoatify: Building a Production-Ready Website Monitoring MVP
How we built a fully functional website monitoring service MVP for Stoatify, complete with Stripe integration, user authentication, real-time monitoring, and load testing - all deployed and production-ready.
Stoatify approached LogicCore Digital to build a production-ready MVP for a website monitoring service. The challenge was to deliver a fully functional platform with payment processing, user management, and real-time monitoring capabilities - all within a tight timeline and budget.
The Challenge
Stoatify needed a comprehensive monitoring solution that would allow users to monitor website uptime 24/7, set up custom endpoints, receive instant alerts via email and webhooks, and manage subscriptions seamlessly. The MVP needed to be production-ready from day one, capable of handling real traffic, and built with scalability in mind.
Our Approach
Technology Stack
We chose a modern, scalable tech stack optimized for performance and reliability:
Frontend:
- React with TypeScript for both landing page and application
- Tailwind CSS for responsive UI and styling
Backend:
- Golang for the monitoring engine, worker system, and API
- PostgreSQL for data persistence
- Redis for caching and job queue
Third-Party Integrations:
- Stripe for payment processing and subscription management
- Resend for transactional emails
Key Features
User Authentication & Account System Complete user management with secure authentication, email verification, and profile management.
Stripe Integration Full payment processing with multiple pricing tiers (Free, Hobby, Business), subscription management, and a credit system ("berries") for pay-as-you-go features. Handles all edge cases including failed payments, renewals, and plan changes.
Website Monitoring Engine Built in Golang for high performance, the monitoring service features:
- Configurable check intervals (1, 5, or 10 minutes)
- HTTP/HTTPS endpoint monitoring with response time tracking
- Instant email and webhook alerts
- Historical performance data and analytics
Queue & Worker System To ensure scalability, we implemented a robust queue/worker architecture in Golang:
- Distributed job queue using Redis
- Multiple worker instances for parallel processing
- Automatic retry logic for failed checks
- Job scheduling and status tracking
- Horizontal scaling capability
This architecture allows the system to handle thousands of monitoring checks per minute while maintaining low latency and high reliability.
Landing Page Built with React, the conversion-optimized landing page features:
- Light/dark mode toggle for user preference
- Interactive cost calculator to help users estimate their monthly needs
- Clear value proposition and feature highlights
- Transparent pricing table with multiple tiers
- Comprehensive FAQ section
- Fully responsive design

Application Dashboard
The main application, built with React frontend and Golang backend, provides a complete monitoring experience:

Key features include:
- Light/dark mode support throughout the interface
- Create and edit custom monitoring endpoints with flexible configuration
- Follow a curated list of predefined monitors for popular services (OpenAI, Google Cloud, etc.)
- Full subscription management with plan upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation
- Real-time monitoring status and alert management
- Historical performance analytics and reporting
Technical Highlights
Scalable Architecture
The Golang-based queue/worker system enables horizontal scaling - workers can be added or removed based on load without affecting the system. The stateless design allows easy scaling of both the API and monitoring workers independently.
Load Testing Results
Comprehensive load testing validated the architecture:
- 1,000+ concurrent users handled smoothly
- 500+ requests/second on API endpoints
- 100+ monitoring jobs/second processed by workers
- 99.9% uptime during load tests
- Response times remained under 200ms at peak capacity
Security
Security was implemented from day one:
- Data encryption at rest and in transit
- Rate limiting and authentication on all endpoints
- PCI-compliant payment processing via Stripe
- Input validation and SQL injection prevention
Results
The MVP launched successfully with:
- 500+ registered users in the first month
- 1,200+ active monitoring endpoints
- 99.95% platform uptime
- 100% successful payment transactions
The platform is now live at stoatify.com, processing real payments, monitoring real websites, and serving real users - all while maintaining excellent performance and reliability.
