In the round-the-clock world of today, prompt issue identification and resolution is essential for meeting customer expectations and avoiding expensive downtime. However, only a small percentage of engineers have access to full observability and monitoring tools, and a large number of these tools continue to operate in isolation from the code of the application or API. This discrepancy indicates that 82% of organisations require more than an hour to fix errors on average.
Hannes Lenke, CEO of Checkly, said: “Today, only a fraction of engineers have access to observability and monitoring tools, many of which don’t give modern development teams the insight, speed, scale or accuracy they need. At Checkly, we bring monitoring to where Engineering teams live and work – inside their code repositories. Monitoring as Code is the best way for teams to own and automate their monitoring. With our funding news, and the announcement that we’re uniting synthetics with Checkly Traces, we’re thrilled to be able to continue empowering engineers to detect and resolve issues faster and easier than ever before.”
Colin Hanna, Partner at Balderton Capital, added: “it approaches monitoring and observability with a fresh perspective. Monitoring as Code means empowering developers to own the reliability of their services, APIs, and applications. This shrinks both time to resolution and the cost of observability. Some of the world’s most sophisticated software companies, like Vercel and commercetools, appreciate the significance of this shift and are valuable customers.”
