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.
