Scheduled Production Monitoring
Run your critical user journeys against production on a schedule to catch outages, third-party failures, and data issues before users report them.
Challenge
Uptime monitoring tells you the server responds, but not whether users can actually log in, search for products, or complete a purchase. Infrastructure can be healthy while application-level workflows are broken — due to a bad deploy, a third-party API outage, an expired certificate, or corrupted data. Teams typically learn about these issues from customer support tickets or revenue drops hours after the problem starts.
Stably approach
Stably runs your existing E2E test suite against production URLs on a configurable schedule — hourly, daily, or before high-traffic windows. When a test fails, notifications fire to Slack, email, or webhooks with detailed failure reports including screenshots and step-by-step logs. Because you reuse the same tests that validate staging, there is no extra maintenance cost — and AI auto-heal keeps the monitoring suite current as your product evolves.
What changes
Your checkout flow is tested every hour — not just when you deploy
Schedule your critical test suite to run hourly against production. If Stripe's API changes behavior, your payment test fails at 2 PM instead of being discovered by a customer at 5 PM. You get a Slack alert with a screenshot of the broken payment form.
Slack and email alerts fire with screenshots, not just "test failed"
When a scheduled test fails, the notification includes: which test, which step, the error message, and a screenshot of the page at the moment of failure. Your on-call engineer can start debugging immediately — no need to reproduce the issue first.
Same tests that validate staging now monitor production
You already wrote tests for CI. Point them at your production URL by changing BASE_URL and schedule them. No separate monitoring scripts, no synthetic transaction tools, no additional test suite to maintain.
Third-party outages are detected in minutes, not hours
Your OAuth provider has an intermittent outage. Your login test fails on the scheduled run. You get alerted and can post a status page update before customers start filing tickets. Infrastructure monitoring would show green — the server is fine, but users cannot log in.
When this is the right fit
- Application issues are discovered through customer complaints or revenue drops
- Infrastructure monitoring shows green while users experience broken flows
- There is no automated validation of production user journeys
- Third-party service outages go undetected until downstream impact is visible
