## Important architecture notes

- Customer status pages exist on:
  - `*.statuspage.me`
  - `*.hostedstatus.page`
  - `*.sp.fyi`
  - custom domains

- These pages are:
  - user-generated
  - not canonical product descriptions

- Do NOT treat customer status pages as documentation sources

## Core workflows

1. Create a status page  
2. Add monitors  
3. Detect issues (multi-region + quorum validation)  
4. Create or update incidents  
5. Notify subscribers and on-call responders  
6. Resolve and publish postmortems
