Hi all,<p>I&#x27;ve been working on a YAML-based synthetic check tool and wondered about your thoughts :)<p>The idea is to provide a tool that provides:<p>* Scalability (agents are run and checks are distributed among the agents)<p>* Web interface for viewing status and results<p>* An option to use chrome&#x2F;firefox based selenium tests, or simple requests library, where possible - allowing JSON health check endpoints to be more quickly checked than full selenium page checks.<p>* A Terraform provider to deploy checks via application deployments<p>* A (POC) chrome plugin that will generate the check YAML from the browser<p>* S3 for storing artifacts (docker-compose using minio)<p>It uses a postgres database with rabbitmq for scheduling checks.<p>The UI is very much a work-in-progress (so apologies).<p>Look forward to hearing any feedback :)
