Getting started with Checkly
Checkly gives you code-first synthetic monitoring for modern DevOps. Monitor your APIs and apps at a fraction of the price of legacy providers. Powered by Monitoring as Code and Playwright.
Get started with monitoring as code
Get started with monitoring as code by picking the right integration for your team. We recommend using the Checkly CLI for the full code, test and deploy workflow.
Checkly CLI
Code, test and deploy your monitoring configuration using a JavaScript/TypeScript-native workflow right from your code base.
Terraform
Manage and scale your complete monitoring configuration right from your code base with our official Hashicorp Terraform provider.
Get started using the web UI
Not quite ready to start your monitoring as code journey? No problem. Get started using just the web UI and you’ll be monitoring in minutes.
Create a Browser check
Use TS / JS with @playwright/test and Headless browsers to navigate, screenshot and assert your key webapp flows.
Create an API check
Monitor the latency and assert the correctness of your API endpoints. Use inline scripts and code to customize everything.
Create a Multistep check
Write Node.js scripts that run multiple API requests in sequence, with arbitrary code between requests and get all the data.
Create a Heartbeat check
Monitor your backup jobs, data imports, and other recurring jobs or scripts by pinging Checkly at a regular interval.
Set up alert channels
