This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2024. #GOTOcon #GOTOchgo https://gotochgo.com Tim Nolet - Co-Founder & Chief Evangelist at Checkly @timnolet8515 RESOURCES https://github.com/tnolet https://twitter.com/tim_nolet https://www.linkedin.com/in/tnolet ABSTRACT Playwright is the hottest browser automation tool on the market. You can use it for testing and web scraping, but also for production monitoring! In this talk I’ll explain the basics of Playwright, show real life (code) examples and explain how to use browser automation for effective, high signal to noise production monitoring: I like to call this the “monitoring as code” workflow. After this talk, you will have the basic knowledge on using Playwright in your own dev pipeline and catch errors on production.
