How to Solve High Cost at Scale in Checkly
Struggling with high cost at scale in Checkly? Learn the root cause and the modern alternative that eliminates this problem forever.
Many engineering teams choose Checkly for its native Playwright support, only to eventually run into the problem of High Cost at Scale.
The Root Cause of High Cost at Scale
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 high cost at scale, your engineers are forced to context-switch away from feature development to debug synthetic monitoring scripts.
The Workaround in Checkly
To mitigate High Cost at Scale 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 high cost at scale 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.
