| * Mail servers (e.g. `mail.example.org:993`): Use TCP checks to ensure your mail server is online and processing requests efficiently. For example, set an assertion on the response time to confirm the server accepts IMAPS connections without delays. This helps you spot slowdowns and provide reliable email services for your users. | ||

| * Databases (e.g. `database.example.org:3306`): Check that your database is online and accepting connections. To ensure that queries are processed as expected, you can additionally send a simple query like `SELECT 1` as part of the request and confirm the response matches what you’d expect via assertions. |

To be able to send the SELECT 1 to the server, the customer would need to implement the MySQL line protocol within the payload. I don't think that's a feasible example at the moment.

Might be useful to add TCP subpages (similar to API):
- TCP Assertions, such as https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/api-checks/assertions/
- Response time limits, https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/api-checks/limits/
- Timeout and timing, https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/api-checks/timeouts-timing/
I can help with this if needed!
Great point, added as a to do here: https://www.notion.so/checkly/TCP-Check-Release-Checklist-149ec050b06e80a9b8f7caa96425bc61?pvs=4#15cec050b06e80aca58ec402af95abd1 - you're more than welcome to start drafting the sub pages if you have some spare time :) |

Sanity check on the new examples needed - I oriented towards customer use cases however relied on Google & ChatGPT to expand them. Would be great to get some feedback on whether these make sense from a more technical POV. Thank you!
