Stop paying $50/mo for "Synthetic Monitoring." I just built a free alternative.

I run a dev agency and I got tired of the "200 OK" lie.

My client's server status was green (100% Uptime), but their Checkout Button was broken because of a silent JavaScript error. They lost sales for 6 hours while the dashboard said "All Systems Operational."

I looked at enterprise tools like Datadog and New Relic. They charge huge fees for "Synthetic Monitoring" (using a headless browser to actually click buttons).

So this weekend, I built my own suite.

I am releasing these 3 tools as a Free Forensic Suite for the community:

  1. The Login Validator
    It doesn't just ping the URL. It types dummy credentials and checks if the "Submit" button actually works. (Tests from US/EU regions).

  2. The Checkout Defender
    It simulates a user flow: Product Page -> Add to Cart -> Checkout. If the Stripe/PayPal iframe fails to load, it alerts you.

  3. The API Deep-Check
    Validates the actual JSON data structure, not just the status code.

The Ask:
I'm keeping this in "Private Beta" to manage server load.

Drop a comment below if you want to stress-test your SaaS. I'll DM you the access link.

(I’m looking for feedback specifically on the Checkout visualization—does it work with your specific gateway?)

    You posed a good problem, but I'd like to solve it in another way. instead of managing a lot of structures.

    I'm tired of it even with managing two authentication systems in frontend and backend.
