Simulate the full customer journey. End-to-end. From cloud point of presence to edge, to origin, to payload — APIContext is the only platform that walks the entire path, and hands you OTEL signal at every hop.

Reachability, availability & latency

Know when your digital services respond — and when they don't — from every region, every network, every carrier. Globally consistent, continuously.

  • 125+ locations
  • Every 30s
  • Sub-second alerts

Verify contracts from the outside-in

Assert that multi-step, fully-authenticated transactions are doing what they're supposed to do — not just returning 200. Catch schema drift before your customers do.

One journey. Eleven spans. Full request and response captured.

The same checkout flow, running synthetically from 125+ locations. Every span is native OTEL, every assertion is evaluated outside-in.

Every synthetic check ships as native OTEL.

We're not another data silo. Consume our signal inside APIContext, or stream it into the APM you already pay for — traces, metrics, and logs, spec-compliant, at source.

Your APM tells you what users did. We tell you what's waiting for them.

API blind spots: Endpoints your APM can't see because no user hit them today. We hit them for you — every 30 seconds, from everywhere. Browser blind spots: JS that breaks on a customer's device but loads fine on yours. Real-browser checks from real geographies. MCP blind spots: AI clients hit your MCP server differently than humans hit your API. We verify tool responses match the contract. Transaction blind spots: Multi-step flows with auth, side effects, and contract guarantees — not just a ping against /healthz. Regional blind spots: The customer in São Paulo sees a different internet than your NYC monitor. We check from both — and 123 more. Topology blind spots: Where did the latency actually come from? Cloud, edge, origin, or payload. We show every hop.

Site Reliability

Keep your SLOs honest.

Burn-rate alerts fired against real customer paths — not pings against a load balancer. Root-cause in one trace instead of five dashboards.

  • Full MELT on every check, auto-shipped to your APM
  • Fault injection on the synthetic path
  • Error budget tied to journey-level SLIs
Platform / Infra

See every hop your users take.

Cloud → edge → origin → payload, in one topology view. Correlate cloud provider incidents with real-customer impact in seconds.

  • Traces span CDN, edge, origin and 3rd-party APIs
  • Correlate to AWS / GCP / Azure status automatically
  • Push signals to Datadog, Dynatrace or TrafficPeak
API owners

Verify contracts, not just 200s.

Multi-step flows with full auth, request and response assertions. Catch schema drift, hallucinated fields and broken side-effects before customers do.

  • JSON Schema, JSONPath & custom assertions
  • OAuth, mTLS, JWT, signed HMAC — no glue code
  • Reproducible transactions across regions
Product managers

Ship features customers can actually reach.

Measure the feature, not the microservice. Funnel drop-offs map to the exact hop in the journey that broke.

  • Journey-level availability by feature
  • Weekly drift reports across regions
  • Status pages your execs will actually read
