Show HN: PerfAgents – Find Issues Before Your Users Do with Synthetic Monitoring
Hello HN! We’re excited to share PerfAgents, a synthetic monitoring tool built for startups and enterprises seeking robust and proactive monitoring across global regions.
TL;DR:
PerfAgents is a synthetic monitoring platform that uses your existing E2E automation scripts (Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, and Selenium) for web app monitoring, reducing setup time by 80%. No complex integrations, no vendor lock-in, and proactive alerts that let you catch bugs before users do.
Problem We’re Solving:
Ensuring application reliability across all regions is tough, especially when existing monitoring tools either require extensive DevOps/QA setup or lock users into proprietary workflows. This results in inefficient workflows, delayed issue detection, and, often, user-facing bugs in production environments.
How We Solved It:
PerfAgents offers a multi-framework approach that lets you monitor app functionality without needing new integrations or script re-recording. By reusing existing end-to-end scripts, PerfAgents makes setup fast, keeps monitoring flexible, and allows teams to detect and resolve issues faster.
Features include:
-> Multi-framework support for Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, and Selenium
-> AI-driven monitoring script generation to automate monitoring setups with no code
-> Global test execution for instant insights across regions
-> Real-time alerts integrated with popular tools (Slack, PagerDuty, Jira)
-> Flexible pricing based on execution frequency, not script complexity
How It Works:
-> Setup: Connect your GitHub repository to import existing scripts, or use our built-in AI tools for zero-code setups.
-> Monitor & Alert: Configure regional monitoring and alert channels, with real-time notifications when an issue occurs.
-> Optimize & Scale: Review logs, performance reports, and leverage our multi-framework support to refine application flow monitoring.
Key Benefits:
-> Faster issue resolution: Early detection and instant alerts prevent downtime and improve stability.
-> Cross-team collaboration: Centralized data helps DevOps, QA, and product teams collaborate more effectively.
-> Flexible framework support: Avoid vendor lock-in with multi-framework compatibility.
-> High scalability: Configurable monitoring counts ensure you’re only paying for what you use.
PerfAgents is already in use by Fortune 500 companies and has helped SaaS and e-commerce teams reduce downtime by 40% and cut support tickets by nearly 57%.
Who It’s For:
-> DevOps, QA, and Engineering leaders looking to optimize monitoring setup and execution
-> Teams already using frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, or Selenium
-> SaaS and e-commerce platforms where reliable, global user flows are critical
PerfAgents is available for a free trial now. We’d love to hear your thoughts, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
