Behind the Dashboard - Catchpoint Traceroute

Behind the Dashboard is an ongoing series where we look under the hood of a specific Catchpoint feature. Each episode breaks down the technology itself, what’s challenging about using it for monitoring, and how we removed friction and toil to make it a valuable part of the Catchpoint platform.

In this episode Leon, Brandon, and Sergey take a look at “traceroute” tests – a feature that may seem humble and unassuming, but has unexpected power and utility when it comes to identifying performance issues with your site, service, or application.
