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!

This looks promising! I'm always on the lookout for tools that can streamline our monitoring process. The idea of reusing existing scripts is such a handy feature. I'm curious to know more about the AI-driven script generation feature. How accurate is it, and does it handle complex scenarios well? Also, what kind of customization options are available for alerts and notifications?

Thanks for your interest! The AI-driven script generation is designed to handle a wide range of scenarios, from simple to complex. It can generate basic scripts for common tasks, and it can also be customized to fit specific needs.

As for alerts and notifications, we offer a variety of options, including email, Slack, PagerDuty, and custom webhooks. You can customize the frequency, severity level, and other parameters to fit your team's workflow.

We encourage you to sign up for a free trial to explore the platform and see how it can benefit your team.
