Building governed logging + scoring (Cerbi): looking for feedback before Jan release

I m building CerbiSuite: governed logging for teams that need structured logs without accidental PII/PHI leaks or schema chaos.

This week I shipped the first end-to-end scoring pipeline: CerbiStream + logger plugins emit a lightweight scoring event (violations, required field misses, redaction hits no raw log bodies), and a new Scoring API ingests it and writes to Postgres with idempotent semantics. The goal is to make governance measurable over time (drift, coverage, risk), not a doc people forget.

In parallel I ve been doing a ton of voice-of-customer work cost sprawl, inconsistent fields across services, compliance reviews where nobody can prove what s logged, and dashboards that break whenever one team just adds a property.

Targeting a January release, aligned with Microsoft as we finalize Marketplace/ISV readiness.

Founder of CerbiSuite — tackling logging chaos & governance for cloud teams

Hey everyone

I m Thomas, a principal architect-turned-founder working mostly in cloud-native backend systems (.NET, Azure, distributed apps, all the usual suspects).

Over the last few years I kept running into the same mess at every company:

  • Logs scattered across tools

  • Observability bills creeping into this can t be right territory

  • Zero governance on what people log (PII everywhere, no standards, no consistency)

Launching soon: CerbiSuite — unified logging governance for .NET (early feedback welcome)

I m gearing up to launch CerbiSuite, a governance-first approach to .NET logging that aims to stop sensitive data before it hits your SIEM and to keep logs consistent across teams.
