Status page subscriptions
Driftstack's public status page at status.driftstack.dev announces incidents in real time. To get notified by email when something breaks (and when it's resolved), subscribe.
From the status page
The easiest path: open status.driftstack.dev, enter your email in the "Subscribe to updates" box, and click Subscribe. We send a confirmation email; click the link in that email and you're subscribed.
From the API
The same subscribe / confirm / unsubscribe flow is exposed programmatically — useful if you're embedding status into your own internal tooling or onboarding automation.
Subscribe
POST /v1/status/subscribe
Content-Type: application/json
{ "email": "[email protected]" }
Returns 202 Accepted with a generic
"confirmation email sent" message. We deliberately return the
same shape whether or not the email was already subscribed —
this avoids leaking whether a given address is on the list.
Confirm
The confirmation email contains a tokenised link:
GET /v1/status/subscribe/confirm?token=…
Returns 200 on success. Confirmation tokens are
single-use and expire 24 hours after the
subscribe POST. Subscribers who miss the window can re-submit
POST /v1/status/subscribe to mint a fresh
confirmation email.
Unsubscribe
Every notification email carries a one-click unsubscribe link:
GET /v1/status/subscribe/unsubscribe?token=…Unsubscribe tokens never expire; subscribers can revoke at any time.
Rate limits
The public subscribe endpoint is IP-rate-limited to 3 requests/minute to discourage email-flood abuse. Confirmation and unsubscribe inherit the same bucket. None of these endpoints require authentication.
What we send
- Incident opened — when ops creates a new incident on the status page.
- Status update — when ops posts a new update on a live incident (e.g. "Investigating" → "Identified").
- Incident resolved — when ops moves the incident to resolved.
- Post-mortem published — for incidents meeting our incident policy threshold, the post-mortem link is emailed when published.
We do not send marketing email to status subscribers. Period.
