Keep - The open-source alerts management and automation platform

Hi Product Hunters! Shahar and Tal from Keep here 👋 A few months ago, we introduced here at Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else 💡. While talking to developers and DevOps, we found out that a lot of companies use many tools that generate alerts - from Cloudwatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to tools such as Zabbix or Nagios. We definitely agree consolidation in the observability space is a real thing, but while talking to those companies we feel that there are still real use cases for having more than one tool (and for reference, according to Grafana’s 2023 observability survey, 52% of the companies uses more than 6 observability tools https://grafana.com/observabilit...). So we that in mind, we rebuilt Keep with this simple mindset ⚒️: 1. Integrate with every tool that triggers alerts - it can be either pushing alerts to Keep via webhooks or routing policies or Keep to pull alerts via the tools API. 2. Create a simple abstraction layer to run workflows on top of these alerts. 3. Maintain a great DX: open source, API-first, workflows as code and generally having a developer mindset while building Keep. While rebuilding, Datadog 🐶 released their workflow automation tool (https://docs.datadoghq.com/servi...) which led us to the understanding that this is exactly what we solve - but for everyone who uses tools other than Datadog. How does it work? 1. Connect your tools: Connect everything from monitoring platforms to databases and ticketing systems. 2. Set up Workflows: Initiate automated workflows in response to alerts or based on custom intervals. 3. Operational efficiency: Automate your alert handling to focus your team's efforts on what really matters. Why Keep? 1. Centralized dashboard: Manage all your alerts across different platforms in a single interface. 2. Noise reduction: Deduplicate and correlate alerts to reduce alert fatigue. 3. Automation: Trigger workflows for alert enrichment and response. 4. Developer-first: Keep is API-first and lets you manage your workflows as code. 5. Works with every tool: Plenty of supported providers and more to come.

I have been using the Keep OSS for a couple of months now, and seeing the team building it into a fully functional offer is exciting. Keep has already been offered a game-changer value for developers who deal with overwhelming monitoring data, and the new end-to-end workflow offer is the only thing missing in this market. Well done!

Great work, guys. Anything that could help to reduce the monopoly in the observability/logging landscape is blessed! Already set up my first workflow :)

Congrats on the launch! Looks very promising and I'll share it with my team to give it a try.

Pretty cool. What is a typical alert for this service?

Hey Shahar and Tal! 👋 Congrats on the launch! Love the direction you've taken by addressing the real-world challenge of alert fragmentation. The centralized dashboard and noise reduction capabilities sound like game-changers. I wonder do you plan to allow custom integrations, where I can configure some webhooks and call it manually from an internal (or not integrated) service?

Go Open Source 🚀🚀🚀

Congratulations on the launch. That's genuinely an ingenious solution! With numerous alerts from various apps, it's challenging to stay on top of them all.

Looks promising! Thank you for contributing to open-source 🙏🏼

It is actually such a great idea! So many alerts from so many apps that it's hard to keep updated and manage all of them. Congratulations on the launch :)
