Synthetic monitoring

Automated **fake user requests** run on a schedule to detect outages before customers report them.

#When to use

Chat APIs, RAG endpoints, and auth flows where real traffic is sparse overnight.

#When not to

Replacing readiness probes inside the cluster — use both.

#Example

Every 5m: POST golden query to `/api/chat`, alert if groundedness score drops below threshold.
