Middleware: Full-Stack Cloud-Native Observability Platform Empowering DevOps

What is Middleware?

Middleware is a full-stack cloud-native observability platform incubated by Y Combinator, designed to help development and operations teams detect, diagnose, and resolve production issues in real time. The platform unifies logs, metrics, traces, and event data on a single timeline, leveraging AI to provide deep infrastructure and application insights, accelerating problem identification and resolution.

Core Features

• Unified Data Integration: Correlates telemetry data such as logs, metrics, traces, and KPIs in real time to enhance decision-making efficiency and performance.

• Intelligent Alerts & AI Remediation: Automatically detects anomalies using AI, generates root cause analyses, and supports one-click remediation to significantly reduce downtime.

• Observability Pipeline: Collects, transforms, and routes telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces) to a single destination, simplifying data management and insight extraction.

• OpsAI Intelligent Assistant: Automatically detects and fixes issues in production environments, analyzes problems, identifies affected code, and creates automated pull requests for fixes.

• Extensive Integrations: Supports integration with over 200 tools and services, streamlining complex workflows and improving overall efficiency.

Technical Principles

• Unified Query Language: Integrates multiple data sources with a single query language to reduce learning curve and boost efficiency.

• AI-Powered Anomaly Detection & Root Cause Analysis: Uses AI to automatically detect anomalies, generate root cause analysis, and enable one-click remediation, minimizing recovery time.

• Observability Pipeline: Efficiently collects, processes, and routes telemetry data to ensure seamless observability and analysis.
