Testing in Production: See it Before They Do

User experience is critical, so why wait for our users to encounter issues? You might have monitoring, but monitoring depends on user interactions. So, if you want to see issues before your users see the, you should test in production. And wouldn’t it be nice if you could combine your production tests with monitoring? For this, you can use Synthetic Monitoring.

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how you can use Grafana Synthetic Monitoring to proactively measure performance, monitor uptime, simulate user journeys, and receive alerts before your users ever notice a problem.

By running Synthetics against the Quick Pizza app, you’ll get to know the why, what, and how of production testing using Grafana Synthetic Monitoring. You’ll see how synthetic combines observability and testing by simulating real user behavior in your live environment.
