I have used:
Things I like:
You might notice I don't say anything much positive about Google's - it gives value, for sure, and it does the basic job. But beyond dumping an alert out if we've a long running database migration on deploy, it's not doing much more. So my future plan is this: https://github.com/dwd/sentrynet - which is (or will be, it's only doing very basic stuff now) an attempt to make a synthetics source we can deploy mega-cheap in a bunch of locations (hosting a small docker image is like $5 a month these days), and give us the shiny integration with Sentry (Issues and Performance) that my tiny heart craves. So... your questions:

What I find really useful is an ability to create Selenium-like tests, and not just checking that a URL returns 200 to some response. Uptime.com has this feature. It's really useful for downtimes caused by interaction of frontend & backend (for example, backend using an incorrect CDN url, resulting in a blank page in production). Those are really hard to cover by regular tests, so having a tool notify you immediately after you broke something, instead of waiting for users to wake you up is really nice. The thing I disliked about the uptime.com implementation is that it runs at most every 5 minutes, which makes for a not-very-accurate uptime calculation, and also delays my average time to reaction by 2.5 minutes, which is a pretty big deal. It would be nice to see a once-a-minute option. |

Hello Everyone!
I'm Eran from the Sentry product team. We're always looking for opportunities to improve and extend our services to help you manage your applications more effectively. One such area that has come to our attention is Uptime Monitoring!
As we contemplate a service in this direction, we'd love to understand how you currently handle uptime monitoring, what challenges you face, and how an integrated Sentry service might add value.
Here are some starter questions to spur the conversation:
Your input is invaluable to us as we explore this new venture. All thoughts, experiences, and ideas are welcome! Even if you have never used an uptime monitoring service, we're curious to hear what you'd expect from one.
Thanks for taking the time to contribute. We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!
