StreamPulse

StreamPulse is a web app (with optional desktop agent) that monitors real-time streaming latency and playback health from the viewer’s perspective, not just your encoder. You drop a lightweight “synthetic viewer” into key regions that continuously joins your live stream (HLS/DASH/WebRTC) and measures glass-to-glass latency, startup time, rebuffering, bitrate shifts, and CDN edge anomalies. When latency jumps or buffering crosses a threshold, StreamPulse pinpoints the likely culprit (origin, CDN edge, segment duration, player config, network route) and suggests concrete fixes (e.g., reduce GOP, tune LL-HLS parts, switch ingest region, adjust WebRTC SFU settings). It also provides incident timelines and shareable postmortems for sponsors and internal teams. This is not magic: it won’t fix bad networks, but it will stop you from flying blind and guessing during a live event.
