Monitor any critical user journey with PathCanary. 24/7 synthetic monitoring for checkout flows, signup funnels, dashboards & key features. Self-hosted runners available. Anomaly detection, instant alerts, automated rollback. Catch failures before users notice





Hey everyone! π
We built PathCanary to catch those silent front-end outages that donβt throw 500s but still block checkout/sign-up.
Free Plan β start risk-free:
Monitor your critical user journey with a real browser (desktop & mobile)
Noise-resistant alerts (median + MAD) so on-call gets signal, not spam
Screenshots + HAR attached to every alert for instant triage
Works in staging or prod canary; easy env/secret handling
No credit card to get started
Why this matters: API/APM can look βgreenβ while the UX is broken. Journey-level canaries catch it in minutes, not hours.
Weβd love feedback on selector stability, alert quality, and rollout playbooks.

I like that the focus is not on the number of logs, but on the essence β where exactly the user runs into a problem. It saves time and helps make more accurate decisions
@julia_yeliashevichΒ So glad to hear that! Thank you!
We just updated PathCanary (and the site) with more product details, fresh examples, and expanded use cases.
Highlights:
β’ Assisted Rollback β auto reverts bad deploys or flips feature flags when a critical journey breaks.
β’ Self-Hosted Runners β run checks inside your network; keep traffic and secrets local.
β’ Live Selector Finder β point-and-click to build stable, no-code funnels fast.
