Multi-Step Synthetic Transaction Testing
Most uptime monitors check if your server returns an HTTP 200. But if your checkout page is blank, or your login form throws an error, your customers are blocked even when your server is “online.”
Seabhac.io runs complete, headless Google Chrome instances inside our distributed probe nodes to test your websites like a real user.
How it works:
- Describe your user funnel: Set actions like clicking buttons, typing inputs into forms, and waiting for CSS selectors to appear.
- Continuous execution: Our distributed worker runners spin up a browser sandbox on your designated cron interval (e.g., every 5 minutes).
- S3 Debugging Artifacts: If a step fails, Seabhac.io automatically captures full-page JPEG screenshots and pulls the browser console error logs, uploading them directly to secure S3 storage so you can debug in seconds.
Why Developers are Leaving Datadog for Seabhac.io
- The Datadog Tax: Datadog charges $12 per 1,000 synthetic runs. If you run a checkout check every minute, that’s $518/month for a single monitor.
- The Seabhac Way: We charge based on flat-rate compute minutes. Running a 1-minute test costs pennies, saving you over 90% on your synthetic testing bill.
- No Cold Starts: Our custom Go-based worker runner maintains a warm pool of chromium allocations for immediate, reliable execution.
Unblockable Edge Testing with Cloudflare Ingestion
Some high-security websites protect their login flows using Cloudflare, Akamai, or strict WAF filters. These tools automatically flag and block traditional monitoring bots.
Seabhac.io features Native Cloudflare Browser Rendering integration. If activated, your headless browser tests execute directly inside the Cloudflare Edge network with residential-grade reputation, seamlessly bypassing anti-bot challenges and captchas.
