We had this vision of Monitoring as Code in mind from the start, but Tracti got early traction, right? So we had paying customers that came to us without even supporting Monitoring as Code. We started to solve their problems for four months without even investing time into our vision. After almost two years, actually, we took a step back thinking about, okay, that's cool that we're having customers, that we're having paying customers, but what is the bigger problem that we actually want to solve? And really thought about, okay, we need to invest time into monitoring this code. And that's what we did. The first iteration wasn't great, to be honest. My name is Hannes Lenke. I'm co-founder and CEO of CheckGate.
This is CodeStory. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries, who share what it takes to change an industry, who build the teams that have their back, keeping scalability top of mind. All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as we grow. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve, mind you. Took it off the shelf and dusted it off and tried it again. To ride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology. All this and more on CodeStory. I'm your host, Noah Labhart. And today, Johannes Linke is helping you detect and resolve your issues to next faster using code-first synthetic monitoring. This episode is sponsored by Speakeasy.
