In 2018, Checkly emerged from a simple but powerful insight: developers needed a better way to ensure application reliability without leaving their development workflow. The founders recognized that traditional monitoring tools were built for operations teams, forcing developers to context-switch and work with fragmented solutions that didn't align with modern software development practices. So they built Checkly - a monitoring as code platform that puts developers in control of their application's reliability from pull request to post-mortem.
Checkly unifies testing, monitoring, observability, status pages, and incident communication into one developer-friendly workflow. By leveraging industry-standard technologies like Playwright and OpenTelemetry, Checkly enables engineering teams to proactively detect issues, communicate with stakeholders through automated status pages, and resolve problems faster with intelligent root cause analysis. Today, thousands of developers at leading companies like LinkedIn, Vercel, 1Password, and CrowdStrike trust Checkly to help them build confidently and ship continuously.
