Checkly announced a new monitoring as code (MaC) workflow — enabled by a new CLI released today in beta — that unites software testing and monitoring in one code-driven workflow that spans development, testing, deployment, and operations.
The company also unveiled new features and enhancements, including general availability of Playwright Test, updated public dashboards, a robust new analytics API, and successful completion of its SOC 2 Type II security audit.
Checkly’s new MaC workflow and CLI enables developers, platform engineers, and SREs to code, test, and deploy their testing and synthetic monitoring in one seamless workflow. The new MaC workflow harnesses the power of Playwright for browser checks, and allows developers to store all resources in a Git repo, alongside their existing application code for increased deployment speed and confidence. The new Checkly MaC CLI also allows developers to code and structure resources using TypeScript, allowing them to take advantage of the improved developer experience and code maintainability.
“Configuring monitoring is often an overly manual process of operations teams. With MaC we are now liberating this traditionally siloed workflow, enabling developers to configure monitoring themselves early during development,” says Hannes Lenke, Checkly Co-Founder and CEO. “We’re thrilled to deliver our MaC workflow supporting Playwright and API checks to give developers the ability to code, test and deploy with confidence.”
Further demonstrating the deep value of the platform to customers and users, Checkly has already run more than 5.0 Billion API and browser checks and, in the last quarter, added nearly one hundred customers and thousands of users, including development teams at top brands and organizations globally.
Product Innovations Announced:
- MaC Workflow and CLI (beta): A new MaC workflow and CLI allows developers to code Playwright-based E2E checks and API checks using TypeScript / JavaScript, then easily test and deploy those checks against Checkly’s global infrastructure.
- GA for Playwright Test: Playwright Test is GA, and Playwright is now the default and recommended testing and monitoring framework to use with Checkly. This release also adds a new UI that includes screenshots, videos, traces, and error logs to improve monitoring efficiency.
- Updated Dashboards: Updates to dashboards allow more users to brand and personalize the look and feel of their dashboards using custom CSS rules, configure custom subdomains, and also features improved readability and accessibility.
- New Analytics API: A new analytics API gives users more freedom to generate reports for business needs. Users can now integrate Checkly data into 3rd party BI platforms like Microsoft PowerBI, Google Data Studio, Grafana, and more.

For years, the success of DevOps has been measured by how much manual work teams can automate ... I believe that in 2026, the definition of DevOps success is going to expand significantly. The era of automation is giving way to the era of intelligent delivery, in which AI doesn't just accelerate pipelines, it understands them. With open observability connecting signals end-to-end across those tools, teams can build closed-loop systems that don't just move faster, but learn, adapt, and take action autonomously with confidence ...
The conversation around AI in the enterprise has officially shifted from "if" to "how fast." But according to the State of Network Operations 2026 report from Broadcom, most organizations are unknowingly building their AI strategies on sand. The data is clear: CIOs and network teams are putting the cart before the horse. AI cannot improve what the network cannot see, predict issues without historical context, automate processes that aren't standardized, or recommend fixes when the underlying telemetry is incomplete. If AI is the brain, then network observability is the nervous system that makes intelligent action possible ...

Now, with the demands of AI and other modern use cases, logical data management is on the rise, so it's "new" to many. Here, I'd like to introduce you to it and explain how it works ...
