Platform / Private Nodes

Monitor APIs and apps inside your network.

Deploy lightweight APIContext nodes behind your firewall to test internal APIs, private services, and employee-facing workflows without exposing sensitive systems to the public internet.

Inside the boundary

Run outside-in checks from inside your own infrastructure.

Private nodes execute the same synthetic journeys as cloud POPs, but originate from your network so internal APIs, staging environments, and restricted applications can be tested safely.

Container-native deployment

Drop a lightweight runner into any private environment.

Run agents as Docker containers, scheduled jobs, or service workloads in your VPC, data center, Kubernetes cluster, or secure network segment.

Behind-firewall monitoring

Test business-critical APIs customers and employees depend on.

Validate private applications, partner integrations, internal APIs, and remote employee workflows from the places where they actually run.

Data control

Keep sensitive calls and credentials under your control.

Agents run inside your infrastructure using your enterprise credentials, secrets, and network policies. APIContext receives telemetry, not unrestricted access to your private services.

Key Features

Everything you need in production.

Outbound-only

Agents connect out to APIContext, so private services do not need inbound public access.

Credential control

Use your own enterprise auth, vault, and network policy for private checks.

Hybrid coverage

Combine public cloud POPs with private locations for a complete customer-to-origin picture.

Internal synthetics

Run the same API, browser, and workflow checks against internal-only systems.

Topology-aware

Separate cloud, edge, origin, and private-network failures in a single journey.

OTEL-native

Forward traces, logs, metrics, and events from private runs to your existing tools.

Private-node telemetry flows into the same tools your teams already use
