How Stillpoint keeps guard over your infrastructure.
A transparent look under the hood: from multi-region edge dispatch and consensus verification algorithms to automated root-cause capture and noise-free escalation.
The 5 stages of an uptime check
Every synthetic probe follows an immutable, multi-step pipeline engineered for sub-second precision and total immunity to false alarms.
Edge Dispatch & Jitter Scheduling
Our distributed scheduler instructs global edge probes to execute requests against your configured endpoint. Probe executions incorporate microsecond jitter to avoid artificial traffic spikes on your origin servers.
- Check frequency: 10s to 300s
- Protocols: HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3, WS
- Global coverage: 5 continents
Multi-Hop Metric Collection
During the network handshake, our probe records low-level TCP connection states, SSL certificate expiration dates, DNS resolver latency, and initial server compute response times.
- DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB breakdown
- Payload size & gzip compression ratio
- SSL expiry counter (days remaining)
Consensus Verification Protocol
If an edge node detects a non-200 code or timeout, it does NOT trigger an alert immediately. It initiates a rapid consensus voting round across two neighboring geographic zones on different internet backbones.
- Dual-node quorum requirement
- Zero alerts on single-ISP packet drops
- Consensus reached in < 3 seconds
Root-Cause Capture & Triage
When an incident is confirmed, Stillpoint automatically snapshots an MTR traceroute, saves raw HTTP response headers, extracts error traces, and generates a ready-to-run curl command for your developers.
- Automated traceroute packet loss map
- HTTP response body preview
- Instant curl reproduction snippet
Smart Escalation & Noise Reduction
Alerts are dispatched strictly according to your team’s on-call rotation. Cascade notifications from Slack to SMS or PagerDuty if the incident isn’t acknowledged within your designated SLA threshold.
- Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, Webhooks
- Cooldown periods prevent spam storms
- Auto-recovery resolution notices
