Synthetics

Datadog Synthetics uses simulated user requests and browser rendering to help you ensure uptime, identify regional issues, and track your application performance. Datadog Synthetics tests come in two different flavors, API tests and browser tests. You can use Datadog’s API to manage both test types programmatically.

For more information about Synthetics, see the Synthetics overview.
