CloudWatch Synthetics

CloudWatch Synthetics allows you to proactively monitor the website and API endpoints every minute, 24x7, using modular canary scripts. This service helps you receive instant alerts when your application does not behave as expected, allowing you to quickly identify and address issues before they impact your users. Synthetic monitoring is essential for organizations to gain insights into their application performance from the perspective of their users, and identify intermittent issues that may go unnoticed with traditional monitoring tools. CloudWatch Synthetics will act like a user and perform a health check on a defined schedule, even when there is no user traffic, helping you to catch issues proactively and prevent user-facing problems.

CloudWatch Synthetics helps you gain a comprehensive understanding of the availability and performance of your web applications and ensures you meet your Service-Level Agreement (SLA) requirements.
