It provides a community-driven, open-source alternative to RIPE Atlas for network diagnostics, targeting users who need accessible, real-time global measurements.

Globalping is an open-source platform that enables scalable, real-time network measurements (ping, traceroute, DNS) from a globally distributed probe network, democratizing access for all users. It offers integrations with Slack and GitHub for enhanced real-time monitoring.

We present Globalping, an open-source, community-driven platform for scalable, real-time global network measurements. It democratizes access to network diagnostics by offering every user, including non-technicals, technicals, and companies, the ability to perform ping, traceroute, and DNS lookups from a globally distributed network of user-hosted probes using either the intuitive Globalping front-end or REST API. Unlike solutions like RIPE Atlas, official integrations with other platforms, such as Slack and GitHub, make Globalping even more effective in real-time monitoring and collaboration.
