Status page for calendar #443

Open carrythebanner opened 2 years ago

When the calendar is unavailable or degraded (because of planned maintenance or when there's an issue), it'd be useful to have a status page we can point folks to. Updating it automatically would be slick but a simple solution would just be a static page that we update manually. A vanilla page would be editable via the CMS which would be relatively simple to make quick updates to.

This is a pattern we can use if we want to avoid another service, just using netlify's rollbacks/ability to publish any branch:

However, this is a manual setup and not suitable for automatically noticing a problem. The service "statuscake" will give us a free status page based on http checks but it will be a bit ugly.
