How to Solve Difficult Onboarding for Non-Devs in Checkly

Many engineering teams choose Checkly for its native Playwright support, only to eventually run into the problem of Difficult Onboarding for Non-Devs.

The Root Cause of Difficult Onboarding for Non-Devs

Checkly's architecture fundamentally relies on static code execution in the cloud. While "Monitoring as Code" sounds great in theory, in practice, it means your monitoring is rigid.

When facing difficult onboarding for non-devs, your engineers are forced to context-switch away from feature development to debug synthetic monitoring scripts.

The Workaround in Checkly

To mitigate Difficult Onboarding for Non-Devs in Checkly, teams typically:

• Over-engineer their Playwright locators using complex regex or data-test-ids.
• Increase timeouts arbitrarily, which delays real alerts.
• Pay for higher tiers to get better support or execution limits.
• Ignore the flaky tests, leading to alert fatigue.

The Permanent Solution: supaguard

What if you could eliminate difficult onboarding for non-devs entirely?

supaguard was built specifically to solve the shortcomings of traditional synthetic monitoring tools like Checkly. By utilizing our proprietary AI engines, supaguard replaces rigid code with adaptive intelligence.

• No more brittle tests: The agent understands the visual UI, not just DOM nodes.
• Zero maintenance: Tests heal themselves.
• Clear RCA: When a real failure happens, the AI provides a root cause analysis, not just a stack trace.
