For Observability Leaders
Run tests from real consumer ISP networks across 230+ global locations to uncover regional, last-mile, and authentication issues that limited cloud-based monitoring simply won’t see.
- Reduce blind spots so SLOs reflect real user experience.
- Accelerate and streamline incident triage for application teams.
- Standardize outside-in telemetry into your OpenTelemetry pipelines.
For SREs, ITOps, and DevOps
Continuously test logins, checkouts, and other critical flows before they break end user journeys using proactive synthetic checks in the regions and cities that matter to your business.
- Start every incident with a clean, independent outside-in signal.
- Remediate faster by pinpointing which region or network is failing.
- Get replicable configs for monitors and alerts using Terraform.
The challenge
Are these scenarios familiar to you?
You can’t see who’s really affected
When your CDN underperforms in Brazil or a 3rd-party script stalls in Indonesia, cloud-based tools rarely detect it. You see a green dashboard while your end users see a broken page and get frustrated.
You waste time on noisy alerts
On-call, you jump into war rooms for issues that turn out to be test flakiness, network quirks, or cloud hiccups. False positives slow down remediation and erode trust in your alerts until people start ignoring them.
Observability fails with the cloud
If your synthetics run inside the same cloud as your services, a provider or region outage can take your visibility down with it. During major incidents you lose your validation layer so you can’t see what’s happening with your users.

Reduce monitoring blind spots
Your app may run in cloud regions, but users on real networks face congestion, latency, or ISP-specific slowdowns. See the CDN misroutes, DNS delays, and last-mile congestion that quietly break end user journeys in certain markets.
- See how the internet treats your app: Run synthetics from 230+ ISP-based test locations to emulate real user journeys instead of idealized cloud-to-cloud hops.
- Catch region-specific issues: Detect misconfigured, overloaded, or misrouted CDN edges and dependencies by geography, so you know exactly which countries and routes are impacted.
- Expose DNS and ISP bottlenecks early: Spot slow or failing DNS resolution and provider-level slowdowns across networks before they pile up as latency, errors, and support tickets.
Prioritize incidents by user impact
When something breaks, on-call teams jump straight into backend metrics and traces and spin up noisy war rooms. You lose time deciding what matters instead of fixing what’s hurting customers.
- Focus on the right problems: Use an independent, outside-in signal to see which regions and critical journeys are actually broken before you dive into backend metrics and traces.
- Separate edge issues from app issues: Correlate browser and API synthetics with your existing telemetry to see whether DNS, CDN, ISP, or your own services are at fault.
- Accelerate remediation: Pinpoint the failing step in a critical end user journey so you can route incidents to the right team fast.
“Synthetic monitoring from specific checkpoints helps us troubleshoot problems before a user journey is disrupted.”
Bring synthetic
data into existing workflows
Adding a new data source often means rolling out agents, remapping fields, and rebuilding dashboards before anyone sees value. With OpenTelemetry, your Uptrends data flows into dashboards and pipelines you already use.
- Control observability spend: Manage check frequency and determine which metrics are forwarded, so only critical telemetry goes to your observability platform.
- Add visibility, not dashboards: Keep your existing APM, logs, and traces while Uptrends adds an independent, outside-in validation layer for end user journeys worldwide.

Uptrends is built to complement (not replace), your observability platform. It gives you an independent, outside-in view and sends only the synthetic telemetry you care about into your existing platform via OpenTelemetry. You control check frequency and what gets ingested, so you gain a more accurate signal at a lower, more predictable cost.
Pricing is based on the number of monitors and the monitoring types you need, while checkpoints, users, and integrations are unlimited.
Classic signs include:
- Your cloud-based checks report all-clear, but user complaints say otherwise.
- You don’t see variation by geography or ISP.
- You can only react to incidents rather than catch them proactively.
- You chase alerts that don’t reflect users’ real problems.
No problem, you can select and edit which checkpoints each monitor runs from, tailoring coverage to your needs. As Uptrends’ network expands, your coverage grows too.
