groundcover announced a significant expansion of its capabilities with new and enhanced offerings across Synthetic Monitoring and Real User Monitoring (RUM).
These innovations give engineering teams full visibility into the user experience, from proactive testing to real-world session insights, while keeping data securely within their own cloud environments.
“Modern observability isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about understanding the end-to-end user experience,” said Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-Founder of groundcover. “These latest enhancements give teams the ability to proactively detect issues, visually understand user behavior, and correlate everything across the stack, all without compromising on data ownership or privacy.”
groundcover’s synthetic performance monitoring empowers teams to identify and resolve issues before they impact users. Teams can now create and manage synthetic checks more efficiently while gaining deeper control over monitoring behavior.
Recent updates include:
- A streamlined test creation experience with a new wizard
- Support for authentication in synthetic checks
- Customizable monitoring intervals for greater precision
- Improved usability and performance across monitoring workflows
By combining proactive testing with real-time observability, groundcover enables organizations to “know before their customers do.”
groundcover’s Real User Monitoring (RUM) delivers deep insight into real-world user behavior and frontend performance, tightly integrated with backend observability.
With RUM, teams can:
- Capture every user interaction, page load, and performance metric
- Correlate frontend activity with backend traces, logs, and metrics
- Troubleshoot issues across the entire stack from a single platform
- Monitor core web vitals and real-world application performance
By unifying frontend and backend observability, groundcover enables faster resolution of issues and a complete understanding of user experience.
groundcover has introduced Session Replay, now generally available as part of its RUM capabilities, enabling teams to visually replay real user sessions and understand exactly what users experienced.
Session Replay allows engineers to:
- Watch full user journeys, including clicks, scrolls, and interactions
- Correlate replays directly with frontend events, logs, and backend traces
- Debug issues faster by seeing the exact moment a problem occurred
groundcover stores session recordings entirely within the customer’s environment, ensuring full control over sensitive user data.
All three of these capabilities are built on groundcover’s Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) architecture. This ensures that all telemetry, including sensitive session data, remains fully within the customer’s infrastructure.
This approach eliminates the need to send user data to third-party vendors, meaning organizations maintain compliance while gaining full observability.
Synthetic Monitoring enhancements and Real User Monitoring with Session Replay are available now as part of the groundcover platform.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
