## Description

Cachet is a self-hosted, open-source status page system designed to communicate service uptime, incident history, and infrastructure performance to end users. It provides a centralized dashboard for managing the operational lifecycle of system components, tracking service disruptions, and scheduling maintenance windows.

The platform distinguishes itself through a comprehensive RESTful API that enables programmatic status page management and automated incident reporting. It supports deep integration with external monitoring tools, allowing for the synchronization of performance metrics and the automated triggering of status updates. Administrators can standardize communication using reusable incident templates and maintain system integrity through event-driven webhook notifications that include payload signing for authenticity.

Beyond core reporting, the system offers extensive customization options for the public-facing interface, including branding, layout adjustments, and custom asset injection. It manages administrative access through team-based permissions and protects service availability using request throttling and token-based authentication. The platform also includes built-in telemetry for usage reporting and tools for visualizing quantitative performance data over time.

The software is built using a model-view-controller pattern and relies on a relational database for state persistence. It is distributed as a web-based application that can be installed and configured to match specific organizational branding requirements.
