Summary
A production issue shouldn't require a detective Yet that's how most observability works today Most observability tools just dump alerts. Duplicates, no context, and you still fix it yourself Nicolò Magnante and his cofounder Arseniy Shishaev - who spent years building part of Datadog's metrics product - think that's backwards So they built Superlog. Observability that's meant never to be opened. A wizard scans your repo, installs proper OpenTelemetry, and runs daily to keep up as you ship When something breaks, it groups the errors into one incident, investigates with full context - logs, traces, recent deploys, past Slack threads - and drops a single mergeable PR in Slack. Merge it Ignore it Or open it in Claude Code and tweak it Vendor-neutral, so you keep every log, trace, and metric - even if you leave Not another notification.
