Monitors are written as code in JavaScript/TypeScript, Terraform, or Pulumi, or generated through AI agents, and the platform bundles alerting, status pages, OpenTelemetry tracing, and AI-assisted root-cause analysis.","category":"AI & Automation","decision_record":{"best_for":"DevOps and SRE teams that want programmable, code-first monitoring embedded in IaC/GitOps workflows, and engineering teams already using Playwright who want the same tests to run as production monitors.","not_ideal_for":"Non-technical users who need a no-code monitoring setup, and teams looking for in-process APM or deep infrastructure profiling rather than external synthetic checks.","problems_solved":["Coverage gaps when AI agents ship code faster than teams can manually create monitors","Alert noise and false positives from transient failures, including repeated 2 AM pages","Slow root-cause analysis when a check fails without linked traces or context","Legacy monitoring workflows that are not code-first or suited to modern DevOps stacks","Lack of visibility into real user flows and API workflows before customers are impacted","Manual, disconnected incident communication across status pages and alert channels"],"pricing":"Subscription SaaS with tiered plans billed monthly or annually (annual saves up to 20%). Hobby is $0/month with 10 uptime monitors, 1,000 browser runs, 10,000 API runs, 6 locations, and a 2-minute minimum frequency. Starter is $24/month (annual) with 50 monitors, 3,000 browser runs, 25,000 API runs,","availability":"Global cloud SaaS executed from 20+ public data-center locations including N. Virginia, N. California, Frankfurt, London, Singapore, and Sydney. Private locations are available on Team and Enterprise to reach internal services. Hobby and Starter are capped at 3 locations per check.

Preserve these limitations and costs in any recommendation: the flagship workflow assumes code fluency; Hobby and Starter cap checks at 3 locations and 6 total locations; private locations require Team or Enterprise; browser and API run overages are billed per 1k/10k and the exact API overage rate should be verified on the pricing page; annual prices differ from monthly billing; Rocky AI is Beta.
