## Resource

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. A fix. 🎙️ Nicolò Magnante, CEO & Co-Founder, Superlog "Observability that fixes your bugs" 02:00 Why existing observability tools create friction 03:00 The YC pivot that led to Superlog 05:22 Why observability must evolve beyond monitoring 05:40 Installing observability with a single prompt 06:14 Why startups are the ideal first customers 10:01 Why the future is self-healing software Learn more at superlog.sh
