Synthetic Monitoring
Catch failures before your customers do, with scheduled API and browser checks unified alongside the rest of your observability.
Know First, Not Last
Scheduled checks on your APIs, certificates, and user journeys surface breakage before real traffic ever hits it.
Monitoring as Code
Browser checks run real Playwright scripts. No recorder, no proprietary DSL.
No New Silo
Every check result lands in a native stream, so the SQL, dashboards, and alerts you already use work on day one.

Protocol Checks
API and Endpoint Monitoring
Check HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, and SSH connectivity on any schedule, from once a minute to once a day. Assert on status codes, response times, and body content to catch degradation, not just downtime.
TLS Certificate Monitoring
Stop discovering expired certificates from browser warnings. Assert on days remaining and get a calm alert weeks before expiry, routed to the channel your team already watches.
Browser Checks
Real Playwright Scripts
Run standard @playwright/test scripts as production monitors. The checkout test your team reviews in CI becomes a check that runs every five minutes from three continents, version-controlled and code-reviewed like everything else.
Full User Journey Coverage
Test what your customers actually do: log in, add to cart, check out. Every failed run captures screenshots and traces so you see exactly what broke, not just that something did.
Unified Results
Results Are a Stream
Every check result is an event in your synthetics_results stream. Query it with SQL, graph p95 latency by region, and correlate a failed check with the logs and traces that explain it, all in one platform.
Alerting You Already Own
No second alerting system to configure. Thresholds, anomaly detection, and gap detection for monitors that go silent, with notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, Teams, email, and webhooks.
Global & Private Coverage
Multi-Region Execution
Run every check from multiple geographies and see what a customer in Frankfurt sees, not just what your health check sees. Compare latency and availability by region in a single query.
Private Network Agent
Internal APIs, staging environments, and admin panels get the same coverage as your public site. A lightweight self-hosted agent runs identical checks from inside your network, reporting to the same stream.
