Service Status Monitors
On March 2nd there was a system-wide Alexa outage, taking down the ability to use the voice assistant, as well as the ability to use the developer console.
For many of us in the development community, this appeared at first to be an issue with our skills, so we ended up getting spun up in troubleshooting mode.
As a developer, I would like the ability to check the overall health of the Alexa components that I am dependent upon.
AWS does a great job of this exact thing, and could serve as a model: https://status.aws.amazon.com/
