Stop treating cloud cost as a black box. UnitCause bridges the "Context Gap" by linking microservice behavior directly to your bill in real-time Using eBPF, we don't just find the bug—we find the unit cost of the bug. Causal Root Cause in <60s Real-time "Margin per Request" Zero-overhead eBPF observability Recover your "Innovation Dividend" and stop wasting 32% of your cloud spend Join the waitlist at unitcause.com.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m, founder of UnitCause.
We built UnitCause because we were tired of the "Cloud Bill Post-Mortem." In 2026, most engineering teams are drowning in telemetry but starving for context. We saw a recurring nightmare: a developer enables debug logging or deploys a "chatty" service, and the team doesn't realize they've blown their budget until the invoice arrives 30 days later.
Traditional observability tells you what is broken, but it can’t tell you why or how much it’s costing you in real-time. This is the "Microservices Tax"—the massive operational debt and hidden egress fees that drain B2B margins.
With UnitCause, we are bridging the "Context Gap" :
Causal Root Cause (<60s): We use eBPF to map system behavior directly to your code, identifying the specific deployment causing a spike before it becomes an outage.
Real-Time Unit Economics: We calculate the "Margin per Request," so you know the exact cost of every user interaction as it happens.
Zero-Overhead Clarity: By moving observability to the kernel level with eBPF, we eliminate heavy sidecars and reduce the 8 hours a week engineers lose to infrastructure toil.
We are currently in Early Access for mid-to-large engineering teams. I’d love to get your feedback on our eBPF implementation and how you currently handle the disconnect between your SRE and FinOps teams.
