Webinar Replay: The 4 Biggest Challenges of Scaling Cloud-Native AI Workloads
Learn the biggest obstacles with load test automation, and how existing user traffic holds the key to scaling eCommerce software safely, and fast.
Leveraging Network Interception with Playwright for End-to-End Monitoring
If you're using Playwright, either on its own or for synthetic monitoring with Checkly, you might have heard about writing Playwright scripts in a user-first manner. This approach focuses on interacting with the UI as a user would, such as clicking buttons or submitting forms, and then waiting for the UI to reflect the changes. However, sometimes you need to intercept and analyze the network layer to verify that your UI is getting the right responses from its supporting API.
The 4 Biggest Challenges of Scaling Cloud-Native AI Workloads
When working with #AI in cloud environments, traditional data provisioning and software testing methods don't work because of the behavior of AI and LLM APIs. In this Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) webinar recording, we discuss the top 4 challenges of scaling cloud-native AI workloads, and the solutions developers are turning to instead.
Reducing Engineering Cost using Contract Developers
Outsourced engineering teams are gaining in popularity and many investors have started to treat them as a requirement.
Using Visual Regression checks to Make Sure You Never Miss a Problem on Production
This webinar introduces an approach to visual regression monitoring, utilizing Playwright and Checkly. Playwright, an open-source end-to-end testing framework supported by Microsoft, enables you to simulate complex paths through your site. Checkly, which uses playwright to create synthetic service monitors, enables the execution of visual regression tests at regular intervals. This combination alerts developers to potential interface problems before they become visible to users.
API Monitoring
API monitoring is crucial for the health of your digital services. This article goes straight to the heart of it, addressing the tools, strategies, and metrics essential in spotting and solving API issues quickly. Learn to maintain and enhance the performance of your APIs, prevent downtime, and improve user experiences through effective monitoring techniques.
Why use a status page API and best alternatives
In the digital age, transparency and communication are key to customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, especially during downtime or degraded performance. This is where the importance of a status page comes into play, helping organizations effectively automate these communications, particularly through the use of status page APIs.
How to narrow and chain your Playwright locators
Locating elements in your end-to-end tests can sometimes be a challenge. In this video, we tackle the problem of hard-to-locate elements by chaining multiple locators using `locator().and()`. By chaining locators you'll be able to combine user-first locators with specific locators reaching for a test id or CSS class.
Building Modern REST APIs with OpenAPI
No, I'm not talking about 'OpenAI', though you certainly can use it to assist in your API designs. I'm talking about the OpenAPI standard, a modern spec for defining REST APIs. If you're reading this, I probably don't need to tell you that REST APIs are ubiquitous in tech. Practically every company has at least one, whether it be an internal or customer facing API. While other types of APIs have been gaining traction the last few years (GraphQL, gRPC, etc), REST is here to stay.
