Your Practical Guide to Reducing MTTR

Feb 9, 2024 By Sara Miteva In Checkly

Let’s face it. Incidents will always happen. We simply can’t prevent them. But we can strive to mitigate the impact incidents have on our product and customers. Ensuring high reliability depends on quickly and effectively finding and fixing problems. This is where the metric MTTR, standing for “mean time to restore” or “mean time to resolve,” becomes valuable for organizations.

How to wait for a specific API response in your Playwright end-to-end tests

Feb 8, 2024 By Checkly In Checkly

Learn in this video how to monitor network HTTP calls in your end-to-end tests and use Playwright's "waitForResponse" method to capture specific network responses. This approach allows you to wait for specific API calls to validate if you website or app shows the correct data.

Open Source Observability with OpenTelemetry and ChecklyDescription

Feb 7, 2024 By Checkly In Checkly

We need to monitor our service's performance, but large closed SaaS options are expensive and complex. OpenTelemetry is the 'wave of the future' for observability, but is it ready for your team? Yes! Join Nočnica to see a demonstration of instrumenting a demo application and learn what OpenTelemetry can do. We'll also add external site monitors with Checkly synthetics checks.

Exploring the Synergy Between Testing and Monitoring in Software Development

Feb 6, 2024 By Nočnica Mellifera In Checkly

The roles of testing and monitoring often intersect, yet they maintain distinct identities. In my near-decade in the tech sector I've observed how end-to-end (E2E) tests and synthetic monitoring, despite common frameworks and requirements, often fail to benefit from collaboration and synergy.

Monitoring your FastAPI application with OpenTelemetry

Feb 5, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz

FastAPI is a modern Python web framework based on standard Python type hints that makes it easy to build APIs. It's a relatively new framework, having been released in 2018 but has now been adopted by big companies like Uber, Netflix, and Microsoft. Using OpenTelemetry, you can monitor your FastAPI applications for performance by collecting telemetry signals like traces. FastAPI is one of the fastest Python web frameworks currently available and is really efficient when it comes to writing code.

Ensuring software quality with integration testing

Feb 2, 2024 By Deacon McIntyre In Raygun

Before the Raygun API limited release last year, we'd been consistently receiving requests for a public API for a long time, to provide a way for our customers to access their Raygun data programmatically. We're now proud to say we're providing a public API with a range of endpoints, but it took us a lot of planning and development to get here! In this post, I'd like to take you back to the beginning of development on our big API project. Specifically, I want to walk through the pivotal decisions we made around testing when we started development on the project, and how (and why) these have paid off.
