Why the models rank Elastic Synthetics — on best playwright-based synthetic monitoring tools
“@elastic/synthetics is built directly on Playwright, journeys are plain Playwright code, and it's genuinely open-source and self-hostable via Heartbeat into the Elastic Stack — uptime, traces, logs, and APM correlate in one place.
