Case Study: ConsenSys reduces monitoring costs and scales external monitoring with Checkly

How Consensys Implemented a Systemic Approach to External Monitoring With Checkly

Consensys, the blockchain and web3 software company behind products like MetaMask and Infura, was managing a patchwork of monitoring tools across many teams, including Pingdom, Datadog, and Prometheus Blackbox Exporter. This created complexity, made maintenance difficult, and increased costs, especially as the company scaled its self-hosted observability efforts.

Consensys adopted Checkly for synthetic monitoring using a Monitoring as Code approach, alongside its internal open-source observability stack. With Checkly, the company standardized external monitoring across teams, improved efficiency, expanded monitoring coverage, and saved 40% on its monitoring bill. Checkly also helped Consensys automate access and segregation across teams while keeping the system developer-friendly and easy to manage.
