Synthetic monitoring with real Playwright
A 200 says the server answered. It doesn't say checkout worked.
Run real Playwright flows through login, search, and checkout, and assert on the APIs behind them, every minute from 22+ locations. When a step fails you get the trace, the screenshot, and the root cause, not a red dot.

Teams that monitor checkout, login, and critical APIs with Checkly
“Checkly has helped us save engineering resources and expenses. The number of our customer support tickets are then reduced because the customer is already proactively informed about problems without having to report the issues themselves.”
Synthetic monitoring that runs the tests you'd write anyway
Most synthetic tools hand you a recorder or a scripting language of their own. Checkly runs standard Playwright and standard HTTP assertions, keeps them in your repo, and adds the global schedule, retries, and evidence that turn a test into a monitor.
@playwright/testReal Playwright, not a recorder
Checks are standard Playwright specs at the latest version, with your fixtures, page objects, and config. No proprietary DSL that drifts behind the framework, and nothing to rebuild when the UI changes.
browser + apiThe UI and the APIs behind it, together
Run the checkout flow in a real browser and assert on the payments API it calls, from the same platform with the same alerting. One dashboard shows which layer actually broke.
traces · screenshots · rockyFailures arrive with the why
Every failed run keeps the Playwright trace, screenshots, video, network calls, and console logs. Rocky AI reads them and returns a root cause before on-call opens a laptop.
Click, fill, pay, and assert, in a real browser
A browser check is a Playwright spec that runs on a schedule against production. It clicks the same buttons your users click in Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit, and fails the moment the order confirmation does not appear. Bring your existing suite; nothing needs rewriting.

- Every run keeps the trace, screenshots, video, and console
The same spec as a browser check result: step timings, screenshots, and the trace, stored with every run.
Assert on the payload, not just the status code
API checks assert on status, headers, response time, and JSON fields. Multistep checks chain requests into a full workflow, authenticate, create, verify, clean up, with tokens carried across steps. A 200 that returns an empty order is a failure here.
- JSONPath assertions on nested fields and arrays
- Multistep workflows with setup and teardown scripts and encrypted secrets
- As often as every 10 seconds from 22+ locations
A multistep check result: each request, its assertions, and which step failed.
When it fails, on‑call gets the why
A failed check keeps the full Playwright trace, screenshots, network calls, and console logs. Rocky AI reads that evidence and writes the root cause and user impact in plain language, so the responder starts with an answer instead of a reproduction.
- Root cause and user impact on every failed run
- Retries from another region before anyone is paged
- Alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Teams, SMS, phone, and webhooks
