Our mission is to help people rest easy by providing a technical “sleeper dike” that is maximally independent of their other systems.
We want techies to be able to sleep better at night, secure in their knowledge that everything is working okay. Standard observability+alerting tools get things most of the way there and are a big improvement on the old status quo, but aren’t enough. In particular, when you want to guarantee that your services are running, you do that by running an alerting service. How do you know that your alerting service is working?
This is particularly worrying because the person who isn’t entirely trusted to run their systems is often the same person who set up the alerting system, and is also themselves! So whatever we do, we need to make sure the person who doesn’t fully trust themselves doesn’t have to do much to use our service. We think we’ve cracked it, and if you read our docs we think you’ll agree.
