building a saas

Under 'Building a SaaS' we share our company story. How Checkly evolved from a bootstrapped Startup to a VC backed venture and how our technology evolves. We are building the best possible API monitoring and synthetic monitoring solution for developers. Making Checkly code-driven, close to open source, and fun to use.
