PHP Server Monitor
A simple, dated PHP tool for monitoring the uptime of servers, websites, and services with email/SMS alerts. Its standout trait is extreme simplicity — a classic LAMP-stack app with no modern framework overhead.

⚙ Full Stack
Plain PHP (no modern framework) with a MySQL/MariaDB backend, cron-driven monitoring checks, and a server-rendered admin UI. Predates PHP's modern dependency-management and testing conventions.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Not designed for horizontal scale — the monitoring scheduler and web UI are tightly coupled to a single MySQL instance with no queueing or worker distribution, so it works fine for dozens of monitored endpoints but was never built for large fleets.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Two-pod deploy: PHP app pod plus `mysql.pod:3306` (never a bare `mysql` hostname). The cron-based check runner needs to run as a sidecar or separate scheduled job pod rather than relying on host cron, since there's no host to schedule against in the container model.
