SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-deploy canary monitoring helps catch console errors, performance regressions, and page failures in a live app. It uses periodic screenshots and baseline comparisons to detect anomalies early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Post-deploy monitoring to detect issues after deployment
  • Periodic screenshots and baseline comparisons via the browse daemon
  • Alerts on anomalies and performance regressions in production

Quick Start

Deploy your app and run the canary skill to start automated monitoring and alerting

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor a live application for performance regressions after a deployment?

Post-deploy canary monitoring tracks a live application by taking periodic screenshots and comparing them against pre-deploy baselines to detect performance regressions and page failures early.

What is post-deploy release validation and how does baseline comparison work?

Post-deploy release validation uses a browse daemon to capture periodic screenshots of a live app, comparing them against pre-deploy baselines to automatically trigger alerts when visual or performance anomalies are detected.

How do I set up automated alerts for console errors in production?

Automated production alerts for console errors are configured by running post-deploy canary monitoring, which continuously captures screenshots and triggers alerts when anomalies or page failures are detected in the live application.

Can I use periodic screenshots to detect page failures in a production environment?

Yes, periodic screenshots are captured by a browse daemon to monitor the production environment, detecting page failures and triggering alerts when the live application deviates from its pre-deploy baseline.

Do I need a browse daemon to run post-deploy production monitoring?

Yes, the browse daemon is required to capture periodic screenshots and collect the data needed to compare the live application against pre-deploy baselines for production monitoring and alerting.

What are the limitations of using screenshot comparisons for release validation?

Screenshot comparison for release validation is limited to detecting visual anomalies, console errors, and performance regressions captured in periodic screenshots, and may not catch backend or non-visual functional failures.
