Why Checkly?
Checkly is a shift-left monitoring tool that supports your modern DevOps culture and allows you to code your monitors at scale.
1. Embrace Shift-Left Monitoring
These days everyone seems to be talking about "shifting left" and it's more than a buzzword. At Checkly we're advocating for the integration of monitoring early in the development process. By enabling you to code your monitors at scale, Checkly ensures that monitoring is not an afterthought but a core aspect of your development lifecycle.
2. A Code-First Workflow
Checkly offers a code-first workflow that integrates seamlessly into your existing stack, making monitoring a powerful, version-controlled component of your development process. This means your entire monitoring workflow can be defined as code, living right alongside your application code, enhancing both visibility and manageability.
3. Automation at Its Best
In a thoroughly unscientific survey of operations engineers, I asked where they check when they think their site might be down, and about half answered: 'I go look at the site.' While I might be tempted to run such a manual check, this process won't really scale. By automating the setup and maintenance of monitoring, Checkly minimizes manual work, saves time, and eliminates errors. This level of automation ensures that your monitoring efforts are efficient and consistently reliable.
5. Proactive Problem-Solving
The shift-left monitoring flow championed by Checkly allows you to address issues immediately, securing the reliability and availability of your apps and services. This proactive approach to monitoring ensures that potential problems are identified and resolved before they can impact your users, reinforcing the stability of your digital offerings.
