Observability Summit North America 2026

No platform owner wants to be told their platform is down by a user. A core responsibility of the platform operating model is ensuring a reliable platform for the organization. In practice, it isn't always easy to detect when things are broken, especially when it falls outside of the traditional metrics coverage.

In our work, we adopted synthetic monitoring using Kuberhealthy, a CNCF project, to gain better visibility into whether the Kubernetes platform is operating as a user would expect. Synthetic monitoring allows us to replicate application developer workflows to validate end-to-end functionality of the platform.

Come and learn about implementing synthetics, how to not break things, and broadly how to improve stability with Kubernetes using synthetic monitoring.
