Hey everyone! I recently came across Seiri.app, which claims to monitor webhooks in real time and provides instant alerts for any failures. I usually rely on checking logs manually, but this tool could potentially save a lot of time. Has anyone given it a try? I'm curious about whether it actually catches failures effectively or if it's just a marketing gimmick. I'd really appreciate hearing some real experiences!

I tried Seiri.app, and honestly, I found it pretty terrible. The user interface is a mess, and the overall developer experience is frustrating. On top of that, there are some serious cybersecurity concerns you should be aware of. I'd recommend avoiding it in production environments unless you’re okay with potential breaches.
I haven't used Seiri.app myself, but I've heard that Checkly is the go-to for standalone synthetic monitoring. Personally, I prefer integrating synthetic monitoring with a broader observability platform like New Relic. I've set it up multiple times, and it usually makes platform management a lot smoother.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve dabbled with Checkly and New Relic too, but I'm not very familiar with webhook monitoring. Do you think standalone tools like Seiri.app offer any real benefits over a full observability suite?
Thanks for sharing your experience! Can you dive into the specific security issues you encountered? I'd like to get a clearer picture.
