We believe monitoring should be set up as code and live in your repository. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our Checkly CLI is now available to everyone! The CLI is our native tool enabling monitoring as code (MaC). This is a significant achievement for us, and we owe it to our users who beta-tested the CLI and gave us valuable feedback over the past few weeks.

Checkly's New Look for a New Era

We're thrilled to unveil our new branding and website, reflecting our commitment to providing engineers with the best monitoring as code (MaC) platform for modern software stacks.

Facing the FinTech: How Remote Support Can Help Banks Compete

Banks are facing stiff competition from FinTech firms. When most people think of this head-to-head battle, they likely assume that the differentiator is technology. The banks have legacy solutions, while the FinTech firms have newer innovations. While this framing is accurate, it does not give the full picture. FinTech firms are not only turning to new technology for the sake of new technology – they are doing so in service of what matters the most in their industry: customer service.

The Importance of an API Observability Pipeline for SaaS Tools

Third-party APIs and cloud based software as a service (SaaS) tools have become a cornerstone of modern enterprises. It is essential to monitor log data and optimize API performance. This will ensure that development teams provide the desired advantages to clients and users. To address this challenge, businesses can use an observability pipeline. It is a set of tools and processes that monitor and analyze data from various sources. That includes third-party APIs and SaaS tools.
