Limitations of API-only testing: Why it shouldn't be your sole testing strategy
A spicy article hit my inbox the other day. It came with a bold claim — “API testing is better than UI testing”. Absolutes like “A is better than B” rarely hold in the software world. “It depends” is the answer to most tech questions for a reason.

Monitoring as Code in Your Software Development Lifecycle
When we launched the Checkly CLI and Test Sessions last May, I wrote about the three pillars of monitoring as code. Code — write your monitoring checks as code and store them in version control. Test — test your checks against our global infrastructure and record test sessions. Deploy — deploy your checks from your local machine or CI to run them as monitors.
