24 alternatives to A better way to monitor web apps
Hey guys, We're excited to reach Beta milestone with our web app monitoring service. By posting here, we're seeking to get some feedback from you. So, why QABot? Why another monitoring service? We believe in Continuous Regression Testing. We are sure that continuous app validation reduces downtime and helps avoid disasters. QABot uses real browser and gets the monitoring as close as possible to real usage. At it's core, QABot is based on Selenium, an open source web browser automation tool. When we say monitoring, we mean more than checking http statuses and response times, we mean…

Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…

Sharing an internal tool that accelerated my development work 10-fold, especially with API debugging. Thought fellow developers here might find it useful. As a developer, I often have trouble reproducing errors at the client end. https://intercept.rest lets me debug and monitor API requests and responses. It is similar to the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools but works for any API: mobile apps, webhooks, frontend etc. After I shared it with a close circle of friends, they found it incredibly useful and even found new use cases, I never imagined. Been a long time lurker here and…

Hi HN! I'm Ben, the solo founder of Calibre Analytics: https://calibreapp.com. Calibre monitors websites and applications in a clean-room testing environment from all over the world. Up until January Calibre has been an "inbetween other things" / evenings / holidays kind of project. (Only, oops—I did that for four years.). Last year I knuckled down to get into the position where I could work on it full time. I've spent the last 8 weeks working on "Test profiles" (The launch post is here: https://medium.com/get-calibre/announcing-test-profiles-and-...)…
