SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-deploy canary monitoring ensures production reliability by continuously watching the live app for console errors, performance regressions, and page failures, and by validating against baselines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Baseline capture before or after deploy to establish a reference for performance and errors.
  • Live monitoring using the browse daemon to take periodic screenshots, check console errors, and measure performance.
  • Anomaly alerts that trigger when observed metrics deviate from baselines, enabling rapid rollback or investigation.
  • Page-set scope supports targeting specific URLs or pages like homepage, dashboard, and settings to narrow monitoring.
  • Post-deploy verification flow to verify canary health after production changes.

Quick Start

Run /canary <url> to start a 10-minute post-deploy monitoring session with optional flags for duration, pages, baseline capture, or quick checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor my production app for errors after a deploy?

Post-deploy canary monitoring automates production app checks by capturing periodic screenshots, scanning for console errors, and measuring performance regressions against a baseline to alert you of anomalies.

What is a canary baseline and when do I need to capture it?

A canary baseline is a reference snapshot of performance and error metrics captured before or after deployment. You need it to establish a standard for comparing live production behavior to detect deviations.

Can I run post-deploy verification on specific pages like my dashboard and settings?

Yes, post-deploy verification supports a page-set scope that targets specific URLs like your homepage, dashboard, and settings to narrow monitoring and anomaly detection to critical application routes.

How do I start a quick health check for a production web app?

Run the canary command with a target URL to start a 10-minute post-deploy monitoring session, using optional flags for duration, page selection, baseline capture, or quick health checks.

Does canary monitoring require a browse daemon to take screenshots?

Yes, the canary monitoring process relies on the browse daemon to navigate live URLs, capture periodic screenshots, check console errors, and measure performance metrics for post-deploy verification.

What is the best way to detect performance regressions in production after a release?

Automated canary monitoring is ideal for detecting performance regressions, as it compares live metrics against captured baselines and issues anomaly alerts for rapid rollback or investigation.
