At Checkly we’re always trying to help our users find and resolve issues 10x faster, and the OpenTelemetry project wants to enable more observability with open standards. I’m excited to share Checkly Traces, our new tracing solution built on OpenTelemetry, and how it can help you find the root cause of problems in real time.

In today's video, we're exploring the fact that Playwright doesn't type check your code when using TypeScript. We'll explore what this means and discuss why this could be an issue, especially for larger projects. Then we set up type checking and add "typescript-eslint" to strengthen and improve your Playwright code. Join us for this deep dive and leave any questions or comments below. Stay tuned for more Playwright tips!

Speedscale's Traffic Viewer is the perfect complement to your production monitoring or observability system because it provides detailed information (like request and response payloads, headers, cookies, and more) that actually helps developers debug any issues and requires zero developer intervention--all of the data is provided from traffic.

Maytham Alfouadi (Solutions Architect) and Immánuel Fodor (Product Manager) from Traefik Labs give us a demonstration of how to do API monitoring with Traefik, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. They talk about Traefik, an open-source reverse proxy, among other things, that is now included by default in k3s and Rancher. They are joined by Usman Ahmad and Nicole van der Hoeven, both Senior Developer Advocates at Grafana Labs.

In this video, we dive into Playwright's "page.goto()" and understand why it could be slowing down your end-to-end tests. We start with an example script and then walk you through the Playwright UI mode to understand how resource loading can delay the "page.goto()" call. We also look into the different "waitUntil" configurations and check how they affect the speed of your tests. Enjoy, and drop any questions or comments below!

See which APIs you’re making requests to, how often, and the various interesting ways those requests are probably breaking.

This video demonstrates how to use the Active and Performance REST API monitors in WhatsUp Gold to measure a JSON value over time or to determine the state of a REST API endpoint.

In this video we’ll continue our look at the details of how Kubernetes secures the various APIs it uses, looking at the controller manager, scheduler, and Kube proxy APIs. For more information, please see our security labs blog Kubernetes security fundamentals: API Security.

When adopting Playwright, it can be tough to know if you're following the right design principles for a process that will work at scale. For those Cypress users, check out Cypress at Scale. Join Jonathan and Filip as we explore how mature organizations and effective teams adopt Playwright. We'll cover what we've seen in the wild and key considerations. — Fundamentals & principles: You'll understand what Playwright is and its design principles.
