Checkly, a Berlin, Germany-based provider of synthetic monitoring powered by Monitoring as Code (MaC) and Playwright, raised $20m in Series B funding.
The round, which brought total funding to $32.25M, was led by Balderton Capital with participation from existing investors Accel, CRV, and Paul H. Müller. Balderton Capital Partner Colin Hanna joined Checkly’s board of directors.
The company intends to use the funds to grow its teams, expand its reach, and further develop its code-first monitoring platform to support even faster remediation.
Founded in 2020 by CEO Hannes Lenke, Chief Evangelist Tim Nolet, and COO Timo Euteneuer, Checkly provides a platform that enables engineers to detect and resolve issues through code-first synthetic monitoring. By integrating advanced, proactive and purpose-built synthetic monitoring tools inside repositories, Checkly ensures monitoring is always in sync with the latest code changes. Engineers and developers can simulate user interactions continuously in 20+ remote locations worldwide using automated Playwright scripts, and get automatic, real-time, accurate alerts alongside detailed insights that help them turn alerts into action. This makes it easier for developers to track and manage everything in one place and helps catch issues early, without the usual delays and false positives seen with legacy tools.
In conjunction with the funding announcement, Checkly is launching its new Checkly Traces feature which will help engineers resolve issues even faster by connecting synthetics with tracing. In this way, engineers will have immediate insight into failures and will no longer need manual data correlation.
