Just wanted to hop in here as founder of Checkly that I think this is awesome. Coded API checks, or checks living in your codebase make total sense. I'm also kinda humbled as I launched Checkly as an indie hacker couple years back and later went VC route. Being mentioned by name by an alternative is kinda really cool! Good luck StepCI team and let's make the web (and the APIs) more reliable!

Nice to meet you Tim. Checkly is an awesome tool and thank you for your comment!

API monitoring is a very crowded space. Our approach is similar to HashiCorp with tools like Terraform, both philosophically (being open-source) and UX-wise (configuration as code).

Our users can benefit from being able to self-host it and customise it according to their own needs

Hey! Yes, very crowded! But also ripe for change as me and you are doing. Very excited to see how people will use Step CI, Checkly and whoever else wants to join this mission.

Kudos to you for your approach to competition!!
