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.
Full-stack observability with an AI SRE agent that fixes issues
An AI agent that detects, investigates, and helps auto-fix production issues across infrastructure, APM and RUM signals.
Monitor servers, containers, serverless workloads and cloud services across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes from one place.
Correlate and query high-volume logs assisted by AI so debugging does not rely on manual grep-style detective work.
Track application performance, trace slow requests, and inspect database and endpoint behaviour end to end.
