Pulse is the always-on status command center. Service health, active incidents, deploy stream, on-call who, weekly trend. Designed to hang on a TV in the team room or live on a fullscreen tab. Calm typography, large numbers, no decorative chrome. If something is wrong, you see it without standing up.
Pulse uses oversized type, the same green/yellow/red palette as the rest of the platform, and minimal decoration. The page works at 4K on a wall TV without scaling artifacts. Readable from across a room. Subtle motion (a single sparkline scroll) catches the eye without distracting.
Services healthy (X of Y), active incidents (count + highest severity), deploys today (count), on-call (current responder for the team you configured). Color follows the platform palette: green when nothing is wrong, yellow on a warn, red on a page. The colors are the calmness signal, most days the board is mostly green.
Below the KPIs, a live feed shows the last 8 platform events: incidents fired, deploys succeeded, on-call handoffs. Newest at the top. Older items scroll off after 8 entries; the page never grows. Events are tagged with simple verbs (fired, deployed, ack'd, resolved) so a glance tells the story.
A team can configure its own Pulse board: which services, which incidents, which deploys, which on-call rotation. Hang the team's board on the team's wall. Multiple boards can coexist, platform-wide on the office TV, team-scoped on the team room TV. Each board has a stable URL.

Most status boards yell. Pulse stays quiet until it matters, which is when status boards earn their keep.
