Zebrium launched Zebrium Root Cause as a Service (RCaaS), a new solution that adds the capability for monitoring and observability tools to automatically find the root cause of software and infrastructure incidents.
When an incident with production software occurs, Zebrium RCaaS automatically finds the root cause and presents a summary of the problem directly on existing monitoring dashboards, alongside other charts showing metrics, traces and APM data. This allows Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), DevOps personnel and developers to reduce the Mean-Time-to-Resolve (MTTR) software or infrastructure problems by 90 percent.
With Zebrium RCaaS, the painstaking process of digging through logs is automated. The end-result is that RCaaS quickly uncovers the root cause indicators that technical teams would have eventually found by manually combing through logs.
RCaaS has a validated accuracy rate of finding the correct root cause in over 95% of incidents.
Zebrium RCaaS is designed to make the details of root cause available in the same tools and workflows that SREs, Devops engineers and developers are already using. RCaaS has complete "out-of-the-box" integrations with popular observability and monitoring tools, including Datadog, New Relic, Elastic, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Grafana, ScienceLogic and others. It also natively integrates with incident management and response platforms including PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Victorops, Slack, Teams and email systems. Additional 3rd party tools can also easily be integrated through a set of open-APIs.
"The cost of downtime keeps rising, and throwing engineers at the problem is not a scalable solution," said Ajay Singh, CEO, Zebrium. "Since speed and accuracy are essential when software teams need to resolve application incidents, the only way forward is an automated approach to Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Zebrium RCaaS is a proven way to do this. Since our platform does not require any manual training or rules, customers can get started in just a few minutes, and leverage RCaaS with almost any kind of observability tool already in place."

As enterprises work to implement or improve their observability practices, tool sprawl is a very real phenomenon ... Tool sprawl can and does happen all across the organization. In this post, though, we'll focus specifically on how and why observability efforts often result in tool sprawl, some of the possible negative consequences of that sprawl, and we'll offer some advice on how to reduce or even avoid sprawl ...
As companies generate more data across their network footprints, they need network observability tools to help find meaning in that data for better decision-making and problem solving. It seems many companies believe that adding more tools leads to better and faster insights ... And yet, observability tools aren't meeting many companies' needs. In fact, adding more tools introduces new challenges ...
Driven by the need to create scalable, faster, and more agile systems, businesses are adopting cloud native approaches. But cloud native environments also come with an explosion of data and complexity that makes it harder for businesses to detect and remediate issues before everything comes to a screeching halt. Observability, if done right, can make it easier to mitigate these challenges and remediate incidents before they become major customer-impacting problems ...
The spiraling cost of energy is forcing public cloud providers to raise their prices significantly. A recent report by Canalys predicted that public cloud prices will jump by around 20% in the US and more than 30% in Europe in 2023. These steep price increases will test the conventional wisdom that moving to the cloud is a cheap computing alternative ...
Despite strong interest over the past decade, the actual investment in DX has been recent. While 100% of enterprises are now engaged with DX in some way, most (77%) have begun their DX journey within the past two years. And most are early stage, with a fourth (24%) at the discussion stage and half (49%) currently transforming. Only 27% say they have finished their DX efforts ...
