Checkly Expands Monitoring Capabilities with Introduction of Heartbeat Checks
Checkly, the leading Monitoring as Code provider, expanded its platform's monitoring capabilities with the introduction of Heartbeat Checks, also known as CRON monitoring or dead man's switches. Also introduced today, Smart Retries is designed to reduce alert fatigue.
Heartbeat Monitoring With Checkly
Today’s a big day at Checkly; we’re thrilled to announce that next to Browser and API checks we released a brand new check type to monitor your apps — say “Hello” to Heartbeat checks! In the realm of software, ensuring uninterrupted functionality is critical. While synthetic monitoring helps you discover user-facing problems early, keeping a close eye on the signals coming from your backend can be just as vital.
What is Synthetic Monitoring?
Synthetic monitoring enables developers to simulate real user interactions to validate an application's performance and correctness. Checkly's Monitoring as Code offers a unique synthetic monitoring solution that enables you to control and automate your entire monitoring infrastructure in a single workflow.

Checkly Advances Monitoring as Code with New User-Centric Features
Checkly, the leading provider of monitoring solutions powered by a Monitoring as Code (MaC) workflow, has unveiled two groundbreaking features: the Activity Log and Code Exporter. These innovative features not only enhance transparency and simplify the adoption of MaC practices but also mark a significant step forward in Checkly's commitment to advancing the MaC movement, offering users an end-to-end workflow that integrates seamlessly with modern software development practices.
Monitoring as Code in Your Software Development Lifecycle
When we launched the Checkly CLI and Test Sessions last May, I wrote about the three pillars of monitoring as code. Code — write your monitoring checks as code and store them in version control. Test — test your checks against our global infrastructure and record test sessions. Deploy — deploy your checks from your local machine or CI to run them as monitors.
Integrate Monitoring as Code into your Software Development Lifecycle
Learn how the new Checkly features (code exporter and activity log) enable you to integrate Monitoring as Code into your Software Development Lifecycle. Define and debug your monitoring resources during development, test your preview deployments and start monitoring productions with ease.
Synthetic Monitoring: What is it, Challenges, and How to Get Started
With Infrastructure as Code and service-oriented development, a modern web app can consist of countless moving parts developed by multiple development and DevOps teams. When establishing a high-velocity development environment, the main question is, "How can you guarantee a stellar end-user experience when lots of engineers are constantly pushing and deploying code?" Solid, easy-to-write, and clearly defined monitoring practices are the only answer to this question.
Exciting Times for Monitoring as Code: A Nod from TWO Gartner Hype Cycles
Earlier this week we shared some exciting news. Checkly has made its mark in not one, but two Gartner Hype Cycles reports. We're being recognized for something we're super passionate about - Monitoring as Code (MaC). This recognition comes in the Hype Cycle for Monitoring and Observability and the first ever Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering. It's a big deal for us, and here's why it should matter to you, too.
