 The Checkly CLI gives you a **JavaScript/TypeScript-native workflow** for coding, testing and deploying synthetic 
 monitoring at scale, from your code base. We call this workflow **monitoring as code** (MaC).
 
-- **Unite E2E testing & monitoring in one workflow.** No more silos between Dev, QA and Ops.
-- **Codeable, testable, reviewable.** Works with your dev pipeline. From your IDE, via PR to CI.
+- **Codeable, testable, reviewable monitoring constructs.** Works with your dev pipeline. From your IDE, via PR to CI.
 - **Native `@playwright/test` support.** No lock-in, just write standard `*.spec.ts` files.
 - **Alerting baked in.** Set alerts for Slack, SMS and many more channels.
 - **Typescript-first.** Fully typed for easy refactoring and code completion.
 - **Run in the cloud or on-prem.** Run on the Checkly cloud or in your network using the [Private Locations](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/private-locations/)
 
+# A quick example
+
+Monitoring checks are written by instantiating constructs from the `checkly/constructs` package...
+
+```ts
+// books-api.check.ts
+import { ApiCheck, AssertionBuilder } from 'checkly/constructs'
+
+new ApiCheck('books-api-check-1', {
+  name: 'Books API',
+  request: {
+    url: 'https://danube-web.shop/api/books',
+    method: 'GET',
+    assertions: [
+      AssertionBuilder.statusCode().equals(200),
+      AssertionBuilder.jsonBody('$[0].id').isNotNull(),
+    ],
+  }
+})
+```
+For browser checks, you can just write standard `*.spec.ts` files using `@playwright/test`.
+
+```ts
+// home.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'
+
+test('webshop homepage', async ({ page }) => {
+  const response = await page.goto('https://danube-web.shop')
+  expect(response?.status()).toBeLessThan(400)
+  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Danube WebShop/)
+  await page.screenshot({ path: 'homepage.jpg' })
+})
+```
+
+Run your checks from your local machine or in CI  using `npx checkly test`
+
+```bash
+npx checkly test
+Parsing your project... done
+
+Running 2 checks in eu-west-1.
+
+__checks__/books-api.check.ts
+  ✔ Books API 1 (52ms)
+__checks__/home.spec.ts  
+  ✔ home.spec.ts (5s)
+
+2 passed, 2 total
+```
+
+Now deploy your checks to the Checkly cloud so they can monitor your apps and APIs around the clock and alert you when things break.
+
+```bash
+npx checkly deploy
+
+Parsing your project... done
+Successfully deployed project "Acme webapp" to account "Acme Production".
+```
