Checkly and the Agentic Software Layer

Mar 26, 2026 By Hannes Lenke In Checkly
November 24th, the Opus 4.5 release turned around the entire tech industry. This was the moment when agents became capable. Capable enough to write solid staff-level code. Capable enough to reason about alerts, investigate root causes much faster than most engineers, and set up the reliability layer faster. For me, this feels like an iPhone moment on steroids; the adoption of AI is accelerating much faster than any adoption curve I’ve seen over the past few decades.

Network Monitoring as Code

Mar 18, 2026 By Checkly In Checkly
Tangling DNS, TCP handshake failures, packet loss: your network has blind spots that application-level dashboards miss. In this session, Daniel Paulus (VP Engineering, Checkly) sets up DNS, TCP, and ICMP monitors from scratch and deploys them as code using the Checkly CLI. You'll see how to import checks from the UI to a code project, use coding agents to build monitors, and debug network failures with Rocky AI, trace routes, and packet captures.

Expanding Uptime Monitoring Down The Stack: ICMP Monitors Are Now Available In Checkly

Mar 10, 2026 By Susa Tünker In Checkly
When we started building Checkly's uptime monitoring suite, the goal was to give engineering teams complete visibility across every layer of their stack, from application down to network, in one place. URL, TCP, DNS, and Heartbeat monitors covered a lot of that ground. But one fundamental piece was missing: the ability to simply ping a host and know if it's reachable.

We Turned Our WireShark Wizard Into a Markdown File

Mar 4, 2026 By Tim Nolet In Checkly
Rocky AI — Checkly’s AI agent — is now Generally Available. We developed Rocky AI over the last ~6 to 8 months. This is an aeon in AI-years. During this period, we learned a ton. About AI, but mostly about how to fit them into an existing SaaS product, not just another chat widget. This is my ramble…

The Current State of Content Negotiation for AI Agents (Feb 2026)

Feb 19, 2026 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
The web was built for humans, but now the agents are taking over. Humans look at a web page and see content rendered by their browser. AI agents see 180,000 tokens of nav bars, footers, and div soup — burning through their context window on junk that makes them slower and stupider. The web needs to evolve, and we as developers are driving the shift. AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini are how we interact with documentation, CLIs, and products today.

Introducing: Checkly Agent Skills

Feb 18, 2026 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
AI coding agents are excellent at writing code. Ask Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to add a feature, and it just works. At Checkly, we were ready for the new agentic world from the start! Monitoring as Code means your entire monitoring setup lives in your repository. API Checks, Browser Checks, alert channels, status pages; everything is defined in code, managed with the Checkly CLI, and version-controlled like any other part of your stack.

Scaling AI Reliability: Real world lessons from Mistral AI

Jan 28, 2026 By Checkly In Checkly
How does one of the world's leading AI companies keep its infrastructure reliable while shipping new models constantly? In this webinar, Devon Mizelle, Senior SRE at Mistral AI, shares the real story. Devon walks through how Mistral built an automated system that generates synthetic checks for every model the moment it goes live—no manual configuration, no forgotten monitors, no inconsistent alerting. Using monitoring as code, his team eliminated the toil of maintaining hundreds of checks across a rapidly evolving model ecosystem.

How to Write a Cover Letter That Actually Helps You Get the Job

Dec 1, 2025 By Kaylie Boogaerts In Checkly
Cover letters are supposed to help you shine, but most of them blur together into the same polite, forgettable paragraphs. The intention is good (“I want them to notice me!”), but the execution… not so much. So, here’s a simple, honest guide to writing a cover letter that actually works, especially if you’re applying to Checkly. Spoiler: shorter is better. And authenticity in this AI era is better than perfect polished perfection.
