[Custom API] Cloud & SaaS vendor status (AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Cloud)

[koko3tallah]

This is a copy-ready customapi setup for watching the public status of cloud and SaaS dependencies from Homepage. It creates six cards for AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Cloud, with four fields on each card:

• provider status
• active incident count
• tracked service count
• freshness of the provider's official feed

It needs no API key or custom Homepage code. The source is OutageDeck's read-only public API, which normalizes the status feeds published by the providers themselves. This complements direct monitoring; it does not replace a probe of your own application.

Add this group to services.yaml:

For a 3×2 layout, add this to settings.yaml:

layout:
  Cloud & SaaS:
    style: row
    columns: 3

The 10-minute refresh matches the upstream collection cadence. Six cards refreshed six times per hour use 36 of the anonymous API's 120 requests per hour for one continuously open dashboard client. If you add more providers or have several simultaneous clients behind the same address, increase refreshInterval accordingly.

To monitor a different dependency, replace the provider slug in both url and href. The public API documentation describes the response and available provider records.

Validation performed against Homepage dev at commit c0ea5b6:

• all seven YAML files parsed successfully
• Homepage's /api/validate returned HTTP 200
• all six Custom API proxy requests returned HTTP 200, then HTTP 304 on the cached reload
• the rendered dashboard showed all six cards and all four mapped fields with no UI error
• the six OutageDeck links contained the expected homepage_status_dashboard attribution
• 27 focused Custom API and service-configuration tests passed
• the complete Homepage production build compiled successfully
