Dec 11, 2019Brian Batraski, Jon Levine, Steven Pack

Summary
This post introduces three new tools to enhance origin server reliability and avoid downtime: Standalone Health Checks for proactive monitoring of origin server health, Passive Origin Monitoring for automatic email notifications when origin downtime is detected, and Zero-Downtime Failover which automatically retries requests to an alternate origin server if the primary fails, improving availability without user intervention. These features complement existing security and traffic management capabilities by focusing on the availability and resilience of the origin infrastructure.
