Prove Your SLAs: How Yext Ties Synthetic Monitoring to SLOs with Checkly (Live-Webinar)

Yext uses synthetic monitoring to prove and meet SLAs, by tying Checkly checks directly to SLOs and user-facing SLIs.

Stefan (Developer Relations), Braxton (Solutions), and Shikhar (Engineering Productivity at Yext) cover the SLA/SLO/SLI basics, the math behind "all these nines", and how Yext turns those targets into concrete checks with monitoring as code.

Shikhar describes Yext’s service definitions that embed ownership, tiers, reliability expectations, and checks, emphasizing functionality checks that validate end-to-end customer workflows, plus using Checkly signals for automated region failover.

The session is an excellent start to learning how to use Checkly well.
