Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Better Stack to monitor your entire tech stack, track system errors, and resolve server outages faster. The service collects traces, logs, and infrastructure metrics using OpenTelemetry and eBPF technology. When an incident occurs, it alerts responders through phone calls, SMS, Slack, or Microsoft Teams, and automatically merges duplicate alerts. Teams can inspect slow database queries with visual dashboards, host branded public status pages, review real user session replays, and use automated post-mortem reports to understand downtime root causes.
