Use cases

Certificate monitoring use cases by team and hostname ownership.

Agencies need client-domain handoffs, SaaS teams need app and API coverage, SRE teams need clear failure classes, and ecommerce teams need checkout protected before browser warnings reach customers.

Agency

Use the agency path when client domains, renewal handoffs, account-team visibility, hostname tags, bulk import, and delivery evidence matter as much as the expiry date.

SaaS

Use the SaaS path when app, API, docs, identity, status, CDN, and customer-facing domains need recurring checks and alert routes tied to product ownership.

DevOps/SRE

Use the DevOps/SRE path when DNS, TCP, TLS handshake, hostname, chain, expiry, and certificate-change signals need routing to the team that can fix the layer.

Explore SRE certificate monitoring

Ecommerce

Use the ecommerce path when storefront, checkout, login, API, CDN, and payment-adjacent hostnames need faster warning paths before peak traffic or promotions.

Shared workflows

Most teams need the same four operating pieces.

The hostname list, alert path, responsible owner, and public probe result should stay connected no matter which team owns the certificate.
