“Checkly has helped us save engineering resources and expenses.
When we get an alert from Checkly, we can go directly to our customers and tell them about any issues. The number of our customer support tickets are then reduced because the customer is already proactively informed about problems without having to report the issues themselves.” ”

Get Started With Monitoring as Code
1
Your app’s code lives in your repository. Your monitoring should too. Create resources in a programmable way, coding them instead of configuring them.
new ApiCheck('hello-api-1', {
name: 'Hello API',
activated: true,
request: {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.checklyhq.com/public-stats',
assertions: [
AssertionBuilder.statusCode().equals(200)
],
}
})2
Test your resources from your local machine or during deployment in CI, all running on Checkly’s global infrastructure.
3
Deploy, lifecycle, and scale your end-to-end testing and monitoring solution from the command line alongside your application deployments.
