Zebrium Autonomous Monitoring - Let machine learning catch software problems

Gavin and Zebrium team congrats on the product launch! Can you help us understand how Zebrius is different from the likes of DataDog or AppDynamics? I understand from the previous comments ( from Ajay) that Zebrius eliminates the need for dedicated resources to analyze data and build rules - you automate it based on ML. Can you share examples to illustrate the magnitude of this automation?

Hey, Product Hunters! I'm excited to tell you about Zebrium, an AUTONOMOUS monitoring platform. Zebrium is built to identify "Unknown Unknowns" using machine learning - problems you don't have alert rules built for - and show you root-cause, even the FIRST time you hit them. Are you tired of "Unknown Unknowns" biting you in production? Tired of the fire drills, the slogging through logs and metrics? Tired of having to figure out what just broke, with hundreds of customers waiting on you? We need a new weapon to defeat complexity and slash resolution time. I believe autonomous monitoring is that new weapon. *** How To Get Started *** 1.) Go to our website and follow the instructions. We'll email you a URL with login details. 2.) If you're using k8s, it's a one-line chart install. Once you log in and set your password, you can cut and paste the install command which includes your API key. That's it! You're signed up and set up for our free service, with autonomous monitoring on your side. Here's what you WON'T have to do: 3.) Training, connectors, parsers, configuration, waiting, alert rules, etc. Works immediately on any app or stack! *** How This All Began *** I founded Zebrium because I was tired of writing data parsers and alert rules and then maintaining them, just to keep an eye on deployed software. The most frustrating part was the long tail of always-new failure modes. There was always the next fire drill. Zebrium means "elemental pattern", and the idea was straightforward: use ML to structure telemetry from deployed software, to extract regular and anomalous features from this data, and to cross-correlate these features to detect incidents with root-cause. We suspected there were fundamental ways software behaves when it breaks - elemental patterns - and that we could exploit these patterns for incident detection. Experience with hundreds of real-world incidents and dozens of applications has proven that we were right! It turns out that, most of the time, we can detect important incidents automatically. We can usually surface root-cause too, if the logs and metrics reflect it. Zebrium works so well that I would want to use it, if I weren't me; so, I imagine you'll want to use it, too. :)

I've been on the "short end of the stick" building rules, maintaining them, managing dozens of engineers building and maintaining monitoring solutions and pipelines.... for 20+ years. More than once I've been heads-down at Zebrium when I hear the familiar Slack-ding only to see our own software just alerted us to root cause of a problem in our own software!!! It's frikin brilliant! I'll tell you, it makes me giddy every time I use the UI or see one of those Slack alerts in action.

Great approach @zebriumlearns - I love the fresh idea. I'm a big fan and multi-year user of your previous genius idea leveraged at Nimble Storage. I'm eager to see how I can leverage Zebrim, and want to see about giving it a go.

Love the super-simplicity of installing, configuring, and maintaining Zebrium's autonomous monitoring platform. Similar to other technologies (e.g., K8s & Terraform), it's a declarative approach that tells me WHAT I want to know about my staging and prod environments without having to specify the HOW. Frees me up to do the more important stuff. Kudos to the Z-team.

I am excited to see this product out. Finding unknown unknowns in machine data is an engineering marvel!

Zebrium save time and gives the right info at the right time. This is an outstanding platform built for where the world is going

Congratulations on the launch @zebriumlearns ! Very innovative and impactful product. With your machine learning approach, I'm pretty sure the time to resolution will drop 10 folds while reducing the investment required to setup those tedious alerts. It's a rare win-win for any businesses looking to keep a check on critical services and deploys! Looking forward to success stories from Zebrium!

Having been in the monitoting space for 6 years and also founded a company in this space, I don't believe the future of monitoring is staring at walls of dashboards and continuously configuring alerts. This space is ripe for disruption by Machine Learning and Zebrium have the most advanced solution in this space by far. Unlike other "AIOps" tools just basically act as band aids on top of your existing monitoring solutions to reduce your alert noise, Zebrium ingests the raw metrics and logs so has complete visiability into the incidents as they happen with root cause - very powerful!

Larry, you are a proven wizard in predictive and autonomous monitoring! Zebrium is a guaranteed success and you will make such a difference in the world!
