SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-deploy canary monitoring provides automatic detection of console errors, performance regressions, and page failures in production by watching the live app with a browser-based daemon. It also takes periodic screenshots and compares them against pre-deploy baselines to surface anomalies early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live monitoring of console errors, performance, and page failures using a browse daemon.
  • Periodic screenshots and baseline comparisons to detect regressions.
  • Alerts and remediation guidance when anomalies are detected.

Quick Start

Run /canary <url> to start a 10-minute post-deploy canary watch and receive baseline-based alerts.

FAQPage Schema
What is post-deploy canary monitoring and how does it catch production issues?

Post-deploy canary monitoring continuously watches a live URL using a browse daemon to detect console errors, performance regressions, and page failures. It compares periodic screenshots against pre-deploy baselines to surface anomalies early.

How do I monitor my web application for regressions immediately after a release?

Run /canary <url> to start a 10-minute post-deploy canary watch. The browse daemon will monitor the live application, compare screenshots against baselines, and output alerts with remediation guidance if anomalies are detected.

Do I need pre-existing baseline screenshots to use automated canary monitoring?

You need either existing baselines or the ability to create them, along with a browse daemon and access to the target URL. The baseline screenshots are essential for the system to compare and detect visual or performance regressions.

What is the best way to validate production health after a new deployment?

Use post-deploy canary monitoring to validate production health by watching the live URL for console errors, performance regressions, and page failures. It generates a health report and alerts you to any deviations from the baseline.

Can I use canary monitoring for any live web application URL?

Yes, canary monitoring works across web applications that require rapid production feedback. You need access to the target URL and a browse daemon to capture the baseline and continuously monitor the page.

What should I do if post-deploy canary monitoring detects a page failure or anomaly?

When canary monitoring detects an anomaly, it outputs alerts and remediation guidance. Review the health report and baseline screenshots to identify the regression, then roll back or patch the deployment as needed.
