Playwright Check Suites Are Now GA - But What Does That Mean For You?
Checkly Blog: Monitoring Insights & Trends
There are only a few companies that successfully invest in actively monitoring real user flows in production. I’ve been puzzled by the state of the art for many years, because I’m an anxious developer that always needs to know that production is “all right”. How can it be okay for all of us to wait for error logs, thrown exceptions or customer complains to learn about production issues? Shouldn’t knowing that all the systems are operational at all time be the ultimate monitoring goal? And why’s no one actively testing and monitoring core application flows in production to ensure that all customers are having a good time? The short answer: developers, QA engineers and SREs think that synthetic monitoring or “testing in production” is too hard. But is it really? We at Checkly have some news, so buckle up!

Introducing The Next Phase Of Synthetic Monitoring: Playwright Check Suites
Checkly Blog: Monitoring Insights & Trends
We've been running Playwright in production since the beginning. Today, we're going all in. When we first launched Browser Checks with Playwright support, we proved something critical: the most popular test automation framework since Selenium isn't just for testing—it's the foundation of modern production monitoring. But that was just the beginning. Today, we're announcing Playwright Check Suites—our bet on the future of monitoring and the most significant evolution in Checkly's history. From Browser Checks to Check Suites: Our Evolution Our Browser Checks introduced Playwright to production monitoring, but they came with constraints. We provided curated runtime dependencies, a single test spec per check, and a managed environment that worked well for many use cases. Playwright Check Suites removes every limitation. You're no longer adapting Playwright to fit our platform. You're running it exactly as you do locally—with full control over: Your entire playwright.config.ts — Every setti
