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

by

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)

So I’m building CerbiSuite — Unified Logging Governance:

  • CerbiStream – a lightweight structured logger with governance baked in

  • CerbiShield – a governance dashboard to define logging rules, enforce them, and prove compliance

  • Future phases: routing + ML-driven anomaly/scoring on top of the metadata

Site’s here if you’re curious: https://www.cerbi.io

Right now I’m:

  • Prepping a Product Hunt launch for CerbiSuite — Unified Logging Governance

  • Talking to engineers, SREs, and founders about how they actually handle logging, compliance, and “oh no, legal wants an audit” moments

  • Trying to validate what’s genuinely useful vs. founder fantasy

I’d love to connect with:

  • Folks who’ve wrestled with log sprawl / high observability costs

  • People building devtools who’ve gone from “neat side project” to paying customers

  • Anyone who’s done governance or compliance in a way that didn’t make devs hate them

Happy to share what I’ve learned about logging, governance, distributed systems, or selling into enterprises as a solo dev. Looking forward to learning from this community.
