Direct answers tailored to the concerns of your technical and business leadership.
What happens if Continuuly's control plane experiences an outage?
We utilize a fail-open design. Client DNS requests seamlessly fall back to the last known good configuration. You are never worse off.
Does implementing this layer introduce vendor lock-in?
No. If you decide to remove Continuuly entirely, you simply revert your DNS records.
How does this align with our existing multi-cloud strategy?
It operationalizes it. Continuuly provides the missing intelligent routing layer across heterogeneous environments.
Does this require changes to our edge compute or serverless functions?
Absolutely not. Continuuly operates at the traffic-steering level, completely agnostic to your edge compute workloads.
How do you differentiate between a localized ISP blip and a global provider outage?
We require multi-region consensus before triggering a failover, eliminating false positives caused by isolated network noise.
Do you process our users' PII?
Never. Our zero-in-path architecture ensures payload data flows directly between the end-user and your edge providers.
Do we need to share our SSL/TLS private keys?
No. Your SSL/TLS certificates remain exclusively on your own infrastructure.
How does this impact our WAF and DDoS mitigation layers?
Your security posture remains intact. WAF and DDoS rules stay on your respective edge providers.
How does Continuuly help with compliance?
By never touching your payload data, Continuuly fundamentally simplifies your compliance audits.
How secure is the connection to our infrastructure?
We utilize strictly read-only access with granular, least-privilege scoping.
How does the ROI compare to building internal redundancy?
Continuuly turns a massive CapEx project into a predictable OpEx subscription.
Are there hidden bandwidth costs?
None. You pay no bandwidth markup and no data egress fees to Continuuly.
Do we need to double our infrastructure spend?
No. Most secondary providers offer pay-as-you-go pricing — costs only spike when you're saving revenue.
How do you price your service?
Predictable pricing based on query volume and monitored endpoints, not payload size.
How does this impact our operational risk profiles?
Higher availability mitigates SLA breach risk and can improve operational risk insurance premiums.
Will Continuuly add latency to our checkout?
Absolutely no added latency. Users communicate directly with your edge infrastructure.
Will users experience broken sessions during a failover?
No. Rerouting happens transparently before the browser registers a timeout.
Does this impact SEO and Core Web Vitals?
Yes, positively. High availability protects your crawl budget and search rankings.
Can this handle massive traffic spikes?
Absolutely. Our control plane scales dynamically to handle immense routing query volumes.
How much effort is required to implement this?
Implementation requires no code changes — just update your DNS and deploy standard configuration.
How is the routing logic managed?
Entirely through our unified control plane, without touching underlying edge infrastructure.
Will this create more alert fatigue?
It drastically reduces it. Failovers happen automatically — your team reviews incidents during business hours.
How customizable are the health checks?
Highly granular — configure probe frequency, consensus thresholds, and parameters per your risk appetite.
