A comprehensive monitoring platform designed specifically for today's development workflows, combining synthetic monitoring, API checks, and distributed tracing in one unified solution.
Why Monitoring Matters More Than Ever
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, downtime isn't just inconvenient—it's catastrophic. Every minute your application is unavailable translates directly to lost revenue, frustrated users, and damaged reputation. Traditional monitoring solutions often leave gaps in coverage, catching issues only after they've already impacted your customers.
Modern applications are complex distributed systems spanning multiple services, APIs, and user interfaces. This complexity demands a monitoring approach that can observe your entire stack holistically, from end-user interactions through to backend services and scheduled jobs. Reactive monitoring is no longer sufficient; engineering teams need proactive visibility into potential issues before they escalate.
Zaracom addresses these challenges head-on by providing comprehensive coverage across your entire application stack. Whether you're running microservices, monoliths, or serverless architectures, our platform ensures you have the observability needed to maintain reliability and performance at scale.
Built by engineers for engineers, Zaracom understands that monitoring tools should integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows rather than creating additional overhead. Our code-first approach means your monitoring checks live alongside your application code, versioned and reviewed through the same processes your team already trusts.
Three Pillars of Comprehensive Monitoring
Synthetic Monitoring with Playwright
Write real browser tests that simulate actual user journeys through your application. Catch UI bugs, broken flows, and performance regressions before your users do.
- Execute complex multi-step user scenarios
- Monitor authentication flows and checkout processes
- Validate visual rendering across browsers
- Measure real-world performance metrics
Comprehensive API Monitoring
Ensure your APIs respond correctly with the right data, status codes, and performance characteristics. Monitor REST, GraphQL, and webhook endpoints with precision.
- Validate response schemas and data integrity
- Track response times and throughput
- Test authentication and authorization
- Monitor rate limits and quotas
OpenTelemetry Tracing
Gain deep visibility into distributed systems with standardised tracing. Follow requests across services to identify bottlenecks and understand system behaviour.
- Trace requests across microservices
- Identify performance bottlenecks
- Correlate logs, metrics, and traces
- Debug complex distributed issues
Monitoring as Code: The Developer Experience You Deserve
Traditional monitoring platforms force you to configure checks through clunky web interfaces, creating configuration that lives outside your codebase and can't be versioned, reviewed, or tested. This approach creates friction, makes collaboration difficult, and often results in monitoring drift as your application evolves.
Zaracom takes a radically different approach. Write your monitoring checks in JavaScript or TypeScript—languages your team already knows and loves. Your checks live in your repository, go through code review, and deploy alongside your application code. This "monitoring as code" philosophy means your observability evolves naturally with your application.
Version control your monitoring configuration, run checks locally during development, and catch monitoring issues in CI before they reach production. Collaborate on monitoring improvements through pull requests with the same workflow you use for feature development. When someone updates an API endpoint, they can update the corresponding monitoring check in the same commit.
The code-first approach also enables sophisticated testing scenarios that would be impossible with traditional tools. Leverage the full power of JavaScript to implement complex validation logic, interact with databases, call helper functions, and reuse code across multiple checks. Your monitoring becomes as maintainable and testable as your application code.
Global Coverage, Local Insights
Monitor from Anywhere, See Everything
Your users are distributed globally, and your monitoring should be too. Zaracom runs checks from multiple geographic locations worldwide, giving you accurate insights into how your application performs for users in different regions.
Detect region-specific issues before they impact large user populations. Identify CDN misconfigurations, DNS problems, or geographic routing issues that might only affect certain areas. Compare performance metrics across locations to ensure consistent user experiences regardless of where your customers are accessing your services from.
Configure checks to run from specific locations relevant to your user base, or leverage our full global network for comprehensive coverage. Each location provides independent validation, helping you distinguish between local network issues and genuine application problems.
Complete Stack Coverage
End-to-End User Journeys
Simulate complete user workflows from landing page through conversion. Monitor authentication, multi-step forms, checkout processes, and critical business flows.
API Health & Performance
Continuously validate your APIs return correct responses with appropriate status codes and acceptable latency. Test both public and internal endpoints.
Scheduled Job Monitoring
Ensure cron jobs and scheduled tasks execute successfully. Get alerted when jobs fail, run longer than expected, or miss their schedule entirely.
Infrastructure & Services
Monitor databases, caches, message queues, and third-party dependencies. Verify that all components of your infrastructure remain healthy and performant.
Seamless Integration with Your Workflow
Zaracom is designed to fit naturally into modern development practices without requiring teams to adopt new tools or change established processes. We understand that engineering teams have invested significant time in building efficient workflows, and new tools should enhance rather than disrupt these systems.
Version Control Integration
Store monitoring checks in Git alongside your application code. Track changes, review updates, and maintain a complete history of your monitoring configuration.
CI/CD Pipeline Support
Run monitoring checks in your continuous integration pipeline to catch issues before deployment. Integrate with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and other popular platforms.
Container-Native Architecture
Deploy Zaracom using Docker and Kubernetes. Scale monitoring alongside your applications with familiar orchestration tools and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Flexible Alerting
Receive notifications through Slack, PagerDuty, email, webhooks, or any other channel your team prefers. Route different alert types to appropriate teams.
Two Deployment Options: Open Source or Cloud Hosted
Open Source: Complete Control
Launch in February 2026, our open source stack provides everything you need to run comprehensive monitoring on your own infrastructure. Perfect for teams with specific security requirements, air-gapped environments, or those who prefer complete control over their monitoring data.
- Deploy on your own infrastructure
- No data leaves your environment
- Full access to source code
- Community-driven development
- Self-hosted, completely free
- Unlimited monitoring checks
The open source version includes all core monitoring capabilities: Playwright-based synthetic monitoring, API checks, and OpenTelemetry integration. Host it on-premises, in your cloud account, or anywhere you run infrastructure.
Cloud Hosted: Zero Maintenance
For teams who want to focus on their applications rather than operating monitoring infrastructure, our cloud-hosted paid tier provides a fully managed solution with additional enterprise features.
- Managed global monitoring network
- Automatic scaling and updates
- Enhanced analytics and reporting
- Priority support from our team
- Advanced alerting workflows
- Team collaboration features
We handle all infrastructure, maintenance, and scaling so you can concentrate on building great products. Benefit from our global network of monitoring locations without managing any servers yourself.
Built for Performance and Reliability
Monitoring systems themselves need to be reliable and performant—there's nothing worse than your monitoring platform being unavailable during an incident. Zaracom is architected from the ground up for resilience, with redundancy built into every layer.
Our distributed architecture ensures checks continue running even if individual components fail. Multiple monitoring nodes in each region provide redundancy, and our intelligent scheduling system automatically redistributes work when issues occur. Check results are stored redundantly and alerts are queued reliably to ensure no notifications are lost.
Performance is equally critical. Zaracom processes check results in real-time, providing immediate visibility into issues without batching or delays. Our optimised data pipeline handles high check volumes efficiently, and the dashboard responds instantly even when visualising large datasets. We monitor our own monitoring platform using Zaracom, ensuring we catch any performance degradation before it affects your team.
The system is designed to scale horizontally, handling everything from small teams running dozens of checks to enterprises executing thousands of checks per minute. Add monitoring nodes, increase check frequency, or expand to new regions without performance degradation or architectural changes.
Real-Time Alerting That Actually Works
Intelligent Detection
Our alert engine identifies genuine issues while minimising false positives through configurable thresholds and retry logic.
Smart Routing
Route alerts to the right teams based on severity, time of day, or affected services. Escalate automatically if issues aren't acknowledged.
Multi-Channel Delivery
Deliver notifications through Slack, email, PagerDuty, webhooks, or custom integrations. Never miss a critical alert.
Alert Analytics
Track alert frequency, response times, and resolution patterns. Identify noisy checks and optimise your alerting strategy.
Configure different notification channels for different severity levels. Page on-call engineers for critical issues while sending lower-priority alerts to team channels. Set up maintenance windows to suppress alerts during planned work. Group related alerts to avoid notification storms when multiple checks detect the same underlying issue.
