TRIGGERED

Every hr they walk successful a warfare room is an hr they're not building. HyperProbe useful the incident for them, alert to confirmed guidelines origin earlier they've opened their laptop.

01

Your champion engineers are on-call. Product roadmap slips.

Incidents don't conscionable break production. They break your roadmap. Your champion engineers go your on-call team, each hr spent debugging is an hr not building.

02

You "fixed" the incident. You person nary thought how.

The hotfix was an knowledgeable guess. Nobody confirmed what really caused it. If the aforesaid conditions look adjacent week, the aforesaid incident fires.

03

The hole takes 10 minutes. Finding it takes hours.

The incident costs the aforesaid each infinitesimal it stays open. The hole takes mins. Finding takes hours, because the worth that explains nonaccomplishment is ne'er logged.

The solution

The AI that handles the incident
so your engineers don't person to.

HyperProbe makes your coding agents driblet a read-only probe connected the nonstop statement wherever the problem happened successful prod. It captures information your logs do not have, without redeployment aliases restarting the service.

Every different instrumentality reasons difficult complete information you already have. HyperProbe captures nonstop evidence.

"Sync issues utilized to return america days to reproduce locally. HyperProbe caught the silent information mismatch successful accumulation connected the first attempt."

"During highest traffic, our listing work was black-boxing failures. HyperProbe fto america inspect the unrecorded representation authorities during the spike. We fixed the title information successful the aforesaid hour."

How it works

What happens erstwhile an incident fires.

01

Alert

Picks up the page from PagerDuty, Datadog, aliases Slack automatically.

02

Plan

Reads logs and traces, to automatically find the file, statement pinch the issue, and scheme debugging flow.

03

Probe

Logs not enough? Places a read-only virtual breakpoint connected the fishy line. No redeploy.

04

Capture

Breakpoint fires connected unrecorded traffic. Exact adaptable authorities captured astatine that line.

05

Confirm

Diagnosis verified against existent evidence. Confirmed RCA delivered.

What is simply a probe?

A probe is simply a read-only, non-blocking snapshot of the unrecorded adaptable authorities astatine a circumstantial statement successful your moving service. It fires connected existent traffic, captures the nonstop values astatine that moment, and disappears aft capture. Your work ne'er pauses. Zero personification impact.

Read-only. Always.

The supplier captures state. It cannot constitute representation aliases execute code. Every probe is logged successful an immutable audit trail. Approval-gated until you spot it.

Runs wrong your infra.

Self-hosted aliases backstage VPC. Nothing leaves your environment. PII redacted astatine the supplier earlier capture. Your information squad defines what tin beryllium observed.

Zero thread pause.

The breakpoint fires asynchronously. Requests complete astatine afloat speed. Users acquisition nothing. Less than 1% overhead astatine 3,000 RPS.

What we cover

Some failures ne'er page you.

No exception. No alert. HyperProbe shines moreover pinch problems hardest to find.

Silent failures

Returns 200 pinch the incorrect body. The trace is green. The worth was ne'er logged.

Exceptions acold from cause

Stack trace names statement 82. The origin is astatine statement 18, aliases successful a different file.

Wrong behaviour, thing thrown

Exception caught and swallowed. No alert. No error. The business metric conscionable moves.

Race and copy processing

Needs thread authorities astatine the nonstop infinitesimal of overlap. Nothing logs that.

Third-party statement drift

Vendor added a caller section aliases position value. Your parser has nary lawsuit for it.

Business metric drops

Payments failing, orders dropping. No objection anyplace successful the stack.

One existent incident, commencement to finish

Alert to guidelines cause. No warfare rooms.

Not a characteristic walkthrough. This is precisely what happens erstwhile HyperProbe useful an incident connected your behalf.

High correction complaint connected bid status. 23% of requests failing.

PagerDuty fires. GET /api/orders/{id}/status is returning 500 for astir a 4th of requests. 847 failures successful the past 10 minutes. No objection successful the logs.

HyperProbe follows the trace chain. Identifies a silent constitute nonaccomplishment upstream.

HyperProbe sounds the distributed traces and follows the nonaccomplishment chain. Order work is healthy. Payment work downstream is returning 404. Payments beryllium successful the costs gateway but are not successful the system.

Payments beryllium successful the costs gateway. Not recovered successful the system. A constitute grounded silently location upstream.

02:49 AMProbe placed

HyperProbe places a virtual breakpoint connected the webhook handler.

HyperProbe identifies payments are recorded erstwhile the costs gateway calls a webhook. A virtual breakpoint placed connected the webhook handler astatine /src/api/webhooks.ts statement 78. No redeploy. Service keeps running.

Before and after

The aforesaid incident. Two realities.

Your champion engineers should not beryllium your on-call team. HyperProbe handles the investigation truthful they tin spell backmost to building.

Without HyperProbe

02:47 AM

Alert fires. Engineer paged.

02:50 AM

Stack trace points to statement 82. The adaptable that caused it was group respective frames up, successful a different file. No log captures it there.

03:10 AM

Frame located. Variable worth not visible. Adds a log statement to seizure it.

03:40 AM

CI/CD deploys. 30 minutes gone. Waiting for the information to reproduce successful production.

04:15 AM

First log visible. Partial data. Not enough. Another log line. Another 30-minute deploy cycle.

05:20 AM

After 2 to 3 redeploy cycles, guidelines origin confirmed. 2 hours 33 minutes.

02:47 AM

Alert fires. HyperProbe picks it up.

02:48 AM

HyperProbe uses your coding supplier to find the nonstop framework wherever the probe should go. All successful background.

02:49 AM

HyperProbe activates a virtual breakpoint astatine that nonstop line. No redeploy.

02:53 AM

Breakpoint fires safely astatine adjacent request. Exact adaptable worth captured. Service keeps running.

02:56 AM

Root origin confirmed. 9 minutes from alert to evidence-backed diagnosis.

This is built for you if

You recognise immoderate of these.

If you don't, we're astir apt not the correct fresh yet. If you do, let's talk.

When did you past walk 2-3 hours successful a warfare room for thing that turned retired to beryllium a one-line fix?

If you person a circumstantial representation of that night, HyperProbe is built for you. The information you needed was ne'er successful the logs. You grepped, guessed, redeployed, and hoped. It does not person to activity that way.

Your champion engineers are your on-call team, not your merchandise team.

When prod breaks, your astir costly prosecute gets paged to do activity a instrumentality should do. Every nighttime on-call is simply a nighttime they resent. And your champion group person options.

The aforesaid incident will hap again. Because thing confirmed why it happened the first time.

Without the nonstop adaptable authorities astatine the infinitesimal of failure, each hole is simply a guess. Guesses clasp until they don't. HyperProbe confirms guidelines origin truthful the hole is final, not deferred.
