Synthetic Monitoring
Synthetic monitoring simulates user interactions against production systems at regular intervals, detecting availability and performance regressions before real users are affected. It complements real user monitoring by testing from controlled locations with known network conditions. Providers differ in check types (HTTP, browser, API), global checkpoint coverage, and alerting integration.
