&lt;p&gt;The pattern that seems to come up most is layering synthetic checks that simulate a real user flow on top of basic uptime pinging, since uptime alone can look fine while a checkout or login flow is actually broken for real users. Dynatrace and Datadog&#39;s tie-in with broader infrastructure observability seems to matter here too, catching a resource spike or error rate climbing before it actually causes a visible outage means the alert fires on the leading indicator rather than waiting for the site to actually go down.&lt;/p&gt;
