Doctor Droid

At Doctor Droid (YC W23) we are building an Open Source framework to enable engineers automate investigations for on-call issues. I know it's a big vision, but from current feedback this framework makes it 10x easier for engineers to investigate issues in production. How? * Senior engineers can define steps for investigation (with deep integration to 10+ observability tools -- query metrics, logs, DBs, run scripts, check configs) * The defined playbooks/runbooks can be connected to alert messages from Slack / PagerDuty / OpsGenie / etc.. No need to investigate manually from Google Docs. or trying to guess. * Engineer can see the investigation snapshot at the alerting moment / see the investigation from past alerts -- so they can correlate faster. We are currently inviting beta testers for feedback on the repo. If anyone is interested, please DM me -- I'll send you the repo link with more details! #debugging #startups #observability

In our latest blog, Raman Tehlan covers how we created a simulation environment using Grafana, Loki, Prometheus and k6 to test our platform.

Here's a story about one of our users. Divyanshu is the lead DevOps engineer at Freight Tiger, one of India's leading tech logistics startups. Their team faced the challenge of receiving too many alerts on a daily basis. This led to significant alert fatigue and their team started to implement Weekly Huddles to discuss actionable to improve Alert Quality in their team. It would take Divyanshu and the team hours to manually analyse all the alerts every week and identify which alerts were buzzing the most and who was responsible for it. His colleague Onkar came across Doctor Droid Slack bot and found it could be interesting for the team to try. Divyanshu Jaiswal installed the Slack bot across one channel in Slack and then all their alerting channels. After installation, Divyanshu instantly got the insights on the most noisy alert in each channel in his workspace and knew exactly what needed to be reduced. And by whom. Now the weekly discussions are just everyone evaluating their own channel dashboards in Doctor Droid and deciding which ones they need to clear to reduce the clutter. No more follow-ups from Divyanshu! The EMs and other managers too have access to the same dashboard so it's easy to be on the same page. Sounds familiar situation?

Facing alert fatigue or spending time to manually clean up your alerts? Try out our AlertOps Bot that will make it a smooth breeze.!

Are your alert channels, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? Statistics show that, if you receive more than 10 alerts in a slack channel in a day, there is a very high likelihood that your team might miss the next "real" alert. Or your engineers will spend too much time getting distracted from things that don't matter. But what can you do about it? You have multiple alerts setup by different engineers using multiple tools. Are you worried it's going to be hard to analyse those alerts and streamline your process? Not anymore. At Doctor Droid, we have recently built an AlertOps #slack bot. Once you add the bot into a slack channel, it automatically.

At Dr. Droid (Y Combinator W23), we recently created a Slack bot. Add the bot to your alert channels in slack and instantly get your team's analysis. Here's what this dashboard shows: * The company had some outage on 16th or 17th Jan -- both Sentry & Datadog were buzzing. * CloudWatch alerts are quite less noisy (or have low coverage) If you want a dashboard with panels like these, go for it! P.S.: This is for one month, but you can see it for 3 / 6 / 12 months / more also! #Engineering #Alerting
