Latency Atlas

Latency Atlas is a website uptime monitoring platform that tracks multi-region latency, heartbeat checks, and status pages for websites, APIs, and scheduled jobs.

What is Latency Atlas?

Latency Atlas is a web-based monitoring service that runs scheduled checks against URLs from multiple geographic regions, records response times and availability, and exposes the results through dashboards, status pages, and an API. You give it a URL, check interval, expected response codes, and a list of regions; it returns uptime history, latency trend lines, recent failures, and availability summaries. The platform is accessed through a browser with Google sign-in and offers a free tier.

Key Features

Latency Atlas bundles multi-region uptime monitoring, regional latency comparison, heartbeat checks, status pages, and API access into one tool. Here are the specific capabilities:

• Multi-region uptime monitoring — Check one website from multiple regions (e.g., california-us, london-gb, tokyo-jp) and compare response time trends to catch latency spikes before outages.
• Regional latency tracking — Inspect response time history per region and generate summaries for any time window, such as the last 24 hours.
• Heartbeat monitoring — Confirm that scheduled jobs, import tasks, queue workers, and other background processes are still reporting on time, with missed-run alerts.
• Status pages and alerts — Publish public status pages and route notifications; the incident state stays attached to the checks that produced it.
• API-first automation — Create monitors, run checks on demand, fetch result history, and read reports using team-scoped bearer tokens via POST /api/v1/checks, POST /api/v1/checks/:id/run, and GET /api/v1/checks/:id/results.
• On-demand check triggers — Run an instant check after a deploy using POST /api/v1/checks/:id/run instead of waiting for the next scheduled scan.

Who should use Latency Atlas?

Latency Atlas suits teams that deploy websites, maintain APIs, or rely on background jobs. The following roles get the most value:

• Development teams that ship frequently — Run a manual check right after a deploy, then keep scheduled multi-region uptime monitoring active in the background.
• API providers — Compare response times from North America, Europe, and Asia to spot routing issues and region-specific slowdowns.
• Operations teams running background jobs — Use heartbeat monitoring to ensure cron jobs, import tasks, and workers execute on schedule, with alerts if they stop reporting.

What can you do with Latency Atlas?

With the platform's monitoring and API, you can automate several common workflows:

• Post-deploy verification — Trigger a check for a freshly deployed website and view the result immediately in the dashboard.
• Regional performance comparison — Pull latency data from different regions via the API and chart trends in internal tools.
• Heartbeat oversight — Set a heartbeat monitor for a scheduled job and get notified when it misses its expected report time.

How does Latency Atlas work?

The platform follows a four-step flow from monitor creation to sharing results:

1. Add a website: create a monitor with a URL, check interval, expected response codes, and the regions to test from.
2. Run checks automatically: scheduled scans collect uptime and response time data, or you can trigger an on-demand check after a deploy.
3. Review reports: open the dashboard for current state, regional latency trend lines, recent failures, and availability summaries.
4. Share or integrate: publish status pages for customers or use the API to sync monitoring data into internal tools and CI workflows.

Pricing

Latency Atlas uses a freemium model. The Free plan includes 2 website monitors at no cost. Starter costs $1.9/month for up to 5 website monitors, and Growth costs $2.9/month for up to 10 website monitors; all paid plans include regional probes and latency history. Sign in with Google to start or request a starter trial.

FAQ

Does Latency Atlas have a free plan?

Yes. The Free tier includes 2 website monitors with regional probes and latency history at no cost. To monitor more websites, you can upgrade to Starter or Growth.

What regions can I monitor from?

Latency Atlas checks from multiple regions, including at least california-us in North America, london-gb in Europe, and tokyo-jp in Asia, as shown in the API examples.

Can I trigger a check manually?

Yes. Send a POST request to /api/v1/checks/:id/run to execute an immediate check, for example after a deploy.

What is heartbeat monitoring?

Heartbeat monitoring verifies that scheduled jobs, import tasks, and workers report on time. You set an expected interval, and Latency Atlas alerts you if the job misses its heartbeat.

Does Latency Atlas provide status pages?

Yes. You can publish public status pages and route notifications, keeping incident states attached to the checks that produced them.
