Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Herald to detect potential infrastructure and code anomalies before alerts fire or users experience downtime. It automatically builds a context graph of your observability pipelines, codebase, dependencies, and pull requests to understand normal system behavior. When an anomaly occurs, it evaluates multiple hypotheses across your traces, logs, and telemetry to pinpoint the exact root cause. Herald generates root cause analyses without requiring predefined runbooks or manual threshold tuning, allowing engineering teams to resolve novel production bugs quickly.
