Find what broke production.

OctoLaunch connects changes, infrastructure events, and runtime signals to rank the most likely causes of a production incident.

Read-only by default. Human approval required for production actions.

Production broke. Now five engineers are searching five different tools.

You are not missing telemetry. The hard part is reconstructing what changed in the system, what degraded, and why.

Rank likely causes

Review an evidence-backed list of suspects without treating correlation as proof.

Prepare the response

Generate a mitigation plan while keeping engineers in control of execution.

From noisy signals to a confident path to resolution.

  1. 1

    Connect your stack

    Connect source control, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, observability, and incident-management tools.

    events → entities → signals
  2. 2

    Build the production context graph

    Map changes, services, infrastructure, dependencies, alerts, and runtime behavior.

    service ↔ node ↔ dependency
  3. 3

    Investigate incidents

    Rank likely causes using timing, topology, ownership, scope, and runtime evidence.

  4. 4

    Respond safely

    Review the evidence, approve the response, and verify whether production health improves.

Works with the tools you already trust.

OctoLaunch does not replace your observability platform.

Datadog and Sentry show what is failing. GitHub and CI/CD systems show what changed. PagerDuty and Slack coordinate the incident. OctoLaunch connects that evidence to help identify why.

06

Built for sensitive production environments.

Access is scoped, observable, and designed around human control.
