Open edX vs UptimeRobot

Open edX (The community-driven, open-source project powering edX.org and thousands of other online education sites around the world.) and UptimeRobot (Leading Uptime Monitoring Service) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Open edX (rank #372) holds a narrow lead over UptimeRobot (rank #510) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (42 vs 37). The gap of 5 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Open edX is clearly ahead of UptimeRobot. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), UptimeRobot is ahead of Open edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Open edX is ahead of UptimeRobot. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), UptimeRobot is ahead of Open edX. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Open edX is ahead of UptimeRobot.

Open edX carries 10,654 GitHub stars across 186 public repos, with 100 repositories active in the last 90 days and 91 external contributors on record. UptimeRobot shows 81 stars across 9 public repos, 6 active in the last 90 days and 10 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Open edX's footprint is roughly 131.5x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Open edX is the stronger read for anyone weighting code quality. UptimeRobot looks better where education is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
