Canary

Canary — Post-Deploy Monitoring

Extended monitoring after deployment. Watch for problems that only appear under real traffic.

Monitoring Loop

Run every 2-5 minutes for the specified duration (default: 30 minutes):

Each Iteration

1. Navigate to the production URL
2. Console errors — any new JS exceptions since last check?
3. Network errors — any failed requests?
4. Performance — page load time within normal range?
5. Screenshot — visual comparison with previous iteration
6. Key interactions — test 2-3 critical flows (login, main feature, etc.)

Anomaly Detection

Flag if any of these change between iterations:

• New console errors appear
• Network requests start failing
• Page load time increases > 50% from baseline
• Visual layout changes unexpectedly
• Key text content disappears
• HTTP status codes change (200 → 500)
