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.
One open-source AI gateway for 100+ LLM providers
Call 100+ providers and 1,800+ models using one request format, so you can swap models without changing application code.
Issue scoped keys per team, project or app, set monthly spend caps and see exactly who is driving usage and cost.
Distribute traffic across deployments, retry on failure and automatically fall back to another model or provider when one goes down.
Dashboards for request volume, tokens and cost per model, with support for logging and analytics integrations.
Provides a massive hosted model catalog with instant access, but requires trusting a third-party platform instead of self-hosting.
