Debug production issues, even in the most complex systems
Production infrastructures have become virtually unmanageable. “You build it, you run it” has made most engineering teams move slower, not faster. But now, with the help of AI, your team can finally get a handle on your cloud infrastructure and debug production issues faster than ever before.
MANIFESTO
We’re in an age of insanely complex systems with distributed ownership,
but teams are only getting smaller as production issues take more and more engineers to resolve.
Until now.
Between the rise of microservices, the growth and complexity of the cloud, and the popularity of “you build it, you run it” dev culture, a huge problem has arisen for SREs and platform engineers: production issues are really, really hard to solve.
Here’s what’s happening:
Teams might have runbooks, but they’re often outdated; their observability data is spread across 5+ different tools; information is siloed among disparate teams and SMEs; new on-call engineers take ages to onboard because the information they need in order to resolve production issues isn’t easily accessible; alerts are noisy and inaccurate or misleading; AI-generated code introduces an added layer of complexity when debugging production issues…
The list of problems, both cultural and technological, feels endless. If something isn’t done to streamline production issue investigation and debugging, we’re going to continue seeing more burnout, even smaller engineering teams, and lower quality software.
In an ideal world, escalations wouldn’t even exist and all the information you need to resolve an issue would be easily accessible. One team’s product wouldn’t cause headaches for another team’s on-call engineer, and you’d be spending more time building software.
Aptible AI is ushering in an era where complex systems don’t have to equal complex production issues. We’re putting AI to work doing what it does best: quickly gathering and parsing huge amounts of data. This, then, enables humans to do what they’re good at: making intuitive decisions and solving complex problems. It acts as an SRE’s assistant, scouring data from disparate sources across your infrastructure and presenting it back to in a simple, unified dashboard. With such quick access to the information they need, SREs won’t have to lean on escalations to get to the root cause of an issue, even if it’s happening in another team’s product.
So, how will it feel to NOT be woken up by a phone call from your on-call engineer asking you about your application? What will you do with all that extra time you’re not spending on call? How much more productive will your engineering teams be? And how excited will the reest of your company be when they find out how much money your team is saving them by reducing downtime?
Let's find out.
