The person behind stillworks.watch
I used to click through the same steps after every deploy.
I’m Tomáš Pilař, a backend developer. I built stillworks.watch to take that familiar routine off my hands. And yours.
Here’s why I built it
A familiar routine
The deploy was done. I wasn’t.
After every deploy to production, I would open the application and click through a path I knew by heart. The same steps, in the same order, to make sure the things people relied on still worked.
It was a small piece of work, but it came back with every deploy. I wanted to show that path once and have it checked again without having to remember to do it myself.
That’s where stillworks.watch started. Record a customer path, then let it run again daily and after detected deploys, within your plan’s limits. If that check fails twice in a row, it sends you the evidence.
How checks after a deploy workThe experience behind it
Built with production in mind.
I’ve been programming since I was fifteen. That curiosity took me through IT studies at school and university, and into a career building the systems behind applications.
Today, I’m CTO at Conviu, responsible for the platform’s technology direction, performance and reliability. Before that, I worked as a senior backend developer on Lékárna.cz and MojaLekaren.sk.
I’ve also taught public and company workshops and spoken at developer conferences. Building software and sharing what I learn have been part of the same work for me.
I’m building stillworks.watch for other developers who know that shipping something is only part of looking after it.
From my workflow to yours
One less routine to remember.
Show stillworks.watch the path you keep clicking through.
