Checking service status - Reactive Resume

Status page

You can check the health of Reactive Resume's servers at any time on the status page:

<Card title="Status Page" icon="signal" href="https://status.rxresu.me"> View real-time server metrics including uptime, CPU usage, memory usage, and more. </Card>

The status page shows:

Uptime: How long the servers have been running without interruption
CPU Usage: Current processor utilization
Memory Usage: RAM consumption across services
Response Times: How quickly the servers are responding to requests

What to do if servers are down

If the servers are under high load or unreachable:

<Steps> <Step title="Check the status page"> Visit [status.rxresu.me](https://status.rxresu.me) to confirm if there's an ongoing issue. The page will show you the current state of all services. </Step> <Step title="Wait and try again later"> If the servers are under heavy load, wait a while and try again. Peak usage times can cause temporary slowdowns.

<Info>
  Reactive Resume is a **free, open-source service** used by thousands of people worldwide. During peak times, the servers may experience higher than usual load.

A note on server capacity

<Warning> Reactive Resume is a **free service** that runs on limited server resources. As an open-source project maintained by a single developer, it's not feasible to invest in powerful dedicated servers without community support. </Warning>

Thousands of people use the service every day. Because it is free and has no venture funding behind it, server capacity stays constrained.

If Reactive Resume is useful to you and you want to help keep the servers running (and maybe scale them up), consider supporting the project.

Support the project

Donations go directly toward server costs, better infrastructure, and keeping Reactive Resume free for everyone.

<Card title="Donate on Open Collective" icon="heart" href="https://opencollective.com/reactive-resume/donate"> Support Reactive Resume's development and server costs through Open Collective. Every contribution helps keep the service running. </Card> <CardGroup cols={2}> <Card title="One-time Donation" icon="gift"> Make a single contribution of any amount to help with immediate server costs. </Card> <Card title="Recurring Support" icon="repeat"> Become a backer with a monthly contribution to provide sustainable support. </Card> </CardGroup>

Self-hosting as an alternative

If you need guaranteed uptime, or want to avoid the limits of a shared server, you can self-host Reactive Resume on your own infrastructure.

<Card title="Self-Hosting Guide" icon="server" href="/self-hosting/docker"> Learn how to deploy Reactive Resume on your own servers using Docker. </Card>

Self-hosting gives you full control over your data and infrastructure, availability that depends only on your own server capacity, and no resources shared with other users.
