The reliability world is changing
Active monitoring and end-to-end testing have been silos with different tools and platforms. Modern DevOps demands a change. We firmly believe that Checkly sits at the intersection of these distinct market trends:
Old technology is dying:
- Active monitoring and testing are sleepy and are being overhauled.
- New frameworks like Puppeteer, Playwright, Cypress, and others are changing the active reliability world.
DevOps shift:
- Developers are now responsible for their app's reliability from development, through testing and monitoring in production.
Our vision is to unite end-to-end testing and active monitoring to be the number one active reliability platform for modern DevOps teams. Checkly will serve cross-functional DevOps teams and support a modern technical stack based on JavaScript and Open Source.
We are building a solution that’s easy to get started with and seamlessly integrates into your development workflow.
Monitoring 💕 E2E testing = Active Reliability
What's next?
This round enables us to move even faster, pushing our vision forward. We couldn't be more excited! We will:
- Grow our team and hire great engineers and go-to-market professionals.
- Work on Checkly alongside with our open source components like the Puppeteer Recorder.
- Continuously deliver an awesome service to our customers!
