AWS Status Archive preserves AWS Health Dashboard incidents beyond the 12-month rolling window by snapshotting public JSON data into Git daily, then rebuilding a searchable static site and read-only API with SQLite. It fills a niche gap for postmortems, audits, and historical analysis while making reproducibility explicit via commit-per-snapshot and no-data vs. operational semantics.

Target audience: DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud architects, and auditors who need historical AWS outage data for postmortems and compliance
