Most teams monitor from the inside, tracking internal metrics, logs, and uptime. But internal health doesn’t always reflect what your users experience. The internet is made up of many parts you don’t own (ISPs, CDNs, DNS, cloud providers), and any one of them can introduce friction. That’s why monitoring from the outside in matters. By testing from real user vantage points, you get a clearer picture of network reachability and performance as it’s actually experienced.
