Unified observability, security and incident response for cloud-scale engineering teams
Agents, cloud integrations and OpenTelemetry collectors feed one platform where metrics, distributed traces, profiles and logs can be pivoted between without context switching.
Bits AI, an agent builder and LLM/AI-agent observability help teams triage alerts, explain anomalies and monitor model latency, token spend and agent traces.
Cloud SIEM, cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, workload protection and code scanning correlate threat signals with the telemetry you already collect.
Real user monitoring, session replay, product analytics, synthetic and mobile testing sit alongside CI visibility, test optimization, feature flags and DORA metrics.
Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.

Combines live web search and cloud browsers for agentic automation, but less specialized in clean markdown generation.
Optimized for semantic web search and AI agent retrieval, but less focused on full-site markdown crawling.
Bundles deep research agents and web search APIs, but less centered on raw site-to-markdown conversion.
