Monitoring as code: your Playwright scripts, running against production on a schedule.
Checkly runs Playwright browser checks and API checks from global locations on a schedule, with everything defined in code and deployed through a CLI or Terraform provider. The key idea is that the same script that tests a journey in CI monitors it in production, so you maintain one artefact rather than two.
