Overview

Checkly provides a monitoring and testing platform for developers and DevOps teams. It offers two main products: API monitoring, which checks the uptime, performance, and correctness of API endpoints from multiple global locations; and synthetic monitoring, which simulates real user interactions with web apps through code-based end-to-end tests to catch issues before real users are affected. The platform integrates with common developer tools and workflows, such as CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, making it easy to incorporate monitoring into existing processes. Checkly differentiates itself by focusing on a developer-first experience—seamless integration with existing tools and flexible pricing tiers based on the number of checks and features—rather than offering generic, one-size-fits-all monitoring. Its goal is to help teams reliably run modern applications by detecting problems early and ensuring performance across APIs and web apps through continuous checks.
