Signal-first observability

Infrastructure that points the way before users notice.

Cairn unifies metrics, traces, and logs into one timeline. When something shifts, you see what changed, why, and what to do next — not a wall of dashboards.

What you get

One signal, not a thousand dashboards

Most tools show you everything and explain nothing. Cairn correlates across your stack and surfaces the one thing worth your attention.

Unified timeline

Metrics, traces, and logs stitched into a single scrubber. Drag to any moment and see the full system state.

Change-aware alerts

Every alert links to the deploy, config change, or traffic shift that triggered it. No more guessing what moved.

Service maps

Auto-discovered topology that updates as you ship. Trace a request across every hop without instrumenting by hand.

Anomaly detection that learns your baseline

Cairn models the normal rhythm of each service — weekday peaks, batch jobs, regional traffic — and only pages you when reality breaks from its own pattern. Tuned per signal, not one global threshold.

Open by default

OpenTelemetry-native. Bring your existing exporters; keep ownership of your data.

Live view

Your whole stack, one pane

This is the surface your on-call engineer opens at 3am — built to answer the only question that matters: is it us, and what changed?

How it works

Three steps to your first signal

01

Drop in the agent

One binary, or a Helm chart for Kubernetes. Auto-detects your services and starts collecting in under two minutes.

02

Cairn learns the shape

For the first day it watches quietly, building a per-service baseline of what normal looks like — no thresholds to set.

03

Get pointed, not paged

When something breaks pattern, you get one alert with the change that caused it and the trace to prove it.

Pricing

Pay for signal, not ingest

Flat per-host pricing. Send all the telemetry you want — we never bill you by the gigabyte.
