DevOpsDays Boston 2023 Lightning Talks: Daniel Paulus
summary
Synthetic monitoring is concrete: it promotes existing end-to-end tests to production so they run them on a schedule, produce metrics and give a clear signal when something breaks. The technique synthesizes user behavior and catches downstream outages that unit tests and internal metrics miss, revealing regional failures (works in Germany but not California) and external provider outages like off zero. Usage since 2017 shows low-maintenance selectors and immediate, actionable alerts.
