DataDog
PyPI uses DataDog to collect metrics from the applications, services, and infrastructure behind the scenes allowing for the team to measure the impact of new changes, monitor for problems, and alert when systems fail.
Datadog is the essential monitoring platform for cloud applications.
We bring together data from servers, containers, databases, and third-party services to make your stack entirely observable.
These capabilities help DevOps teams avoid downtime, resolve performance issues, and ensure customers are getting the best user experience.

Fastly
PyPI uses Fastly's CDN to quickly serve content to end-users, allowing us to minimize our hosting infrastructure and obscure possible downtime.
Fastly is the only content delivery network that gives businesses complete control over how they serve content, unprecedented access to real-time performance analytics, and the ability to cache frequently changing content at the edge.
Our secure, global network allows enterprises to increase revenue while maintaining fast, consistent, and reliable performance across their websites and applications.
With offices in San Francisco, New York, and London, Fastly powers popular online destinations including Twitter, the Guardian, GOV.UK, Imgur, Fast Company, GitHub, Wayfair, Pinterest, and Shazam.
PyPI uses the Google Cloud Storage to store and serve the files uploaded to PyPI. Google Big Query also stores, queries, and presents our package download statistics.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Pingdom
PyPI's infrastructure volunteers use Pingdom to monitor and receive alerts about downtime and other issues affecting end-users.
We're Pingdom, a website monitoring service.
With our service, any problem with your website will be discovered the minute it happens.
You will be immediately alerted so you can take action before it affects your business.
You will also be able to see detailed statistics of your website performance, giving you a historical record of all incidents.
It's pretty great.
Sentry
The PyPI team uses Sentry to capture, record, and respond to exceptions and errors on PyPI.
Sentry provides real-time crash reporting for your web apps, mobile apps, and games.
Sentry captures errors, tags them with important context, and then notifies your team with the information necessary to debug them quickly.
StatusPage
The PyPI team uses StatusPage to communicate downtime, service degradation, or maintenance windows to end-users.
StatusPage is the best way to communicate the status of your service with your end-users.
We've entered an era where almost every company relies on external cloud services. The number of moving pieces and woven dependencies all but insures that even the most well-prepared companies will have the occasional outage. End-users will forgive the occasional downtime if you treat them well by keeping them in the loop when this happens.
Thousands of the top companies in web tech rely on StatusPage to communicate with their customers when they're experiencing outages or degraded performance.
Previous supporters and one-time donors
We are thankful to our previous sponsors and one-time donors for their support of the Python Package Index
CloudAMQP
