Synthetic monitoring uses global testing infrastructure to track user pathways and gauge the influence of web and front-end performance on user experience. It provides comprehensive insight into your website's performance, functionality, and availability from development to production, allowing you to identify and resolve issues before they affect your customers. This talk will show how to monitor a React application

I am a big believer in synthetic monitoring as a concept to build reliable production services. If engineers are supposed to run what they build, they need monitoring tools that work for them. I have built my own custom solutions in the past using Jenkins or GH Actions and later used SaaS tools for this. I want to share my experience how I got frontend engineers to build monitoring and get everyone on an engineering team to care about production system reliability.
