If you bet on end-to-end testing or even synthetic monitoring, there’s a high chance that you use Microsoft's Playwright. And if you have Playwright in your toolchain, you probably adopted TypeScript, too. It's an easy choice because of its rock-solid auto-completion and type safety. With this setup, you can enjoy the beautiful DX (developer experience) and safely refactor your ever-growing code base without worrying about runtime exceptions because of TypeScript's type checking, right? Wrong!

API giant Kong has handed the reins of its software distribution to Cloudsmith. Learn why in this case study recap + video.

Traditional monitoring has become insufficient for managing complex systems. Modern infrastructures consist of numerous interconnected services, and simply monitoring individual metrics and logs fails to provide a comprehensive view. This is where observability becomes crucial.

API testing is a vital part of the development lifecycle. In this comparison piece, you’ll compare Speedscale and Hypertest and show where they stand in terms of API testing.

This guide goes into the fundamentals, practical applications and tips & tricks of using OpenTelemetry (OTel) to monitor your Next.js application. OpenTelemetry is gaining (a lot) of momentum outside of its historical niche of distributed, micro services based application stacks. But, as it turns out you can just as well use it for more traditional, three tiered, web applications and it comes with a host of benefits.

With automation pervading the networking world in recent years, APIs have become standard for software and IT specialists. While the jury is out on the exact number of public APIs offered today, all estimates point to their massive (and ever-growing) popularity. Megaport is one of the many thousands of vendors that provides public API access to all our services, enabling our customers to automate and streamline their deployments.

When you invest time and effort into creating a well-running end-to-end test suite or adopt Playwright synthetic monitoring with Checkly, you should focus on two things. Your tests must be stable because few things are worse than an unreliable test suite. But also, your tests must be fast because no one wants to wait hours to receive the green light when you're on the edge of your seat to deploy this critical production hotfix.

The internet is basically just a bunch of websites calling each other. You make a call to some service, that service calls you back, and then that service goes down and ruins your afternoon. Requests, our latest addition to Insights, is a place to see, understand, track, and improve the behavior of outgoing HTTP requests.
