Alerio

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I'm excited to share my side project, Alerio, which is now live on the Google Play Store.

The Pain Point: I manage a few servers for my personal projects. One night, a critical API crashed. Although I had monitoring set up, the standard short "ping" of a push notification simply wasn't enough to get my attention during deep sleep.

I realized that most existing solutions were either unreliable (easy to miss) or too expensive/complex for a solo developer like me. I needed something that wouldn't stop until I acknowledged the incident.

The Solution: I decided to build a dedicated alerting platform that ensures you never miss a critical event.

Alerio treats incoming Webhooks like Phone Calls. When your monitoring system sends an alert, Alerio triggers a Full-Screen VoIP Call that rings loudly.

But I didn't stop there. I realized redundancy is key. Alerio is now a full Multi-Channel Alerting System. It supports:

• VoIP Calls (App)

• Email

• Instant Messaging Integrations (Slack/Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp etc.)

You can choose the channel that guarantees you'll see the message.

How it works:

1. Send a generic Webhook (POST request) from your monitoring stack.

2. Alerio processes the alert based on your routing rules.

3. It immediately notifies you via your preferred channels (Call, Email, etc.) simultaneously.

Tech Stack:

• Backend: Go (Fiber) + PostgreSQL

• Mobile: Kotlin (Native Android)

• Realtime: WebSockets + FCM

Business Model: Freemium. It has a generous free tier for self-hosters and a Pro tier for heavier usage.

Request for Feedback: I'd love to hear your thoughts on the concept. Do you prefer VoIP calls for critical alerts, or do you stick to SMS/Email?
