PathCanary - 24/7 Critical Path Monitoring

  Presentation:
  PathCanary guards your revenue paths before they break. We run real browser tests 24/7 on your checkout flows, signup funnels, dashboards, and critical features. Get instant alerts with screenshots and HAR files when anomalies are detected, plus assisted rollback
  to revert bad deployments automatically. Built for SaaS companies that can't afford silent failures.

  Case Studies:

  1. E-commerce Checkout Recovery - Detected a broken Stripe integration 4 minutes after deployment, before any customer noticed. Automatic rollback prevented €50K+ in lost revenue during Black Friday.
  2. SaaS Signup Funnel - Caught a mobile-only bug in signup flow that analytics missed. 30% of mobile users couldn't complete registration for 6 hours. Now monitoring desktop + mobile separately.
  3. Dashboard Monitoring - B2B platform monitoring critical widgets and data loading. Detected database query timeout causing dashboards to freeze for enterprise customers at 3 AM, before support tickets flooded in.

  Technical Challenges Solved:

  - Synthetic Monitoring at Scale - Playwright-based runner executing thousands of browser tests daily with geographic distribution optimization
  - Anomaly Detection - Rolling median + MAD algorithm detecting performance regressions without manual threshold tuning
  - Privacy-First Analytics - IP hashing for GDPR compliance while maintaining geographic insights for runner placement
  - Multi-tenant RLS Architecture - Supabase Row Level Security ensuring complete data isolation across 100+ organizations
  - Prod-Safe Testing - Stop before actual checkout with ?synthetic=1 parameter to exclude from analytics
  - Self-hosted Runners - On-premise deployment option for enterprises with compliance requirements
