Who We Serve

Thought leaders, change agents, and pioneers across the enterprise

History

It all started when I was participating in an extended bridge call that lasted for days. We could not identify the root of a problem that they noticed.  It was impacting production of a very large customer.  The customer’s team was debugging as well, at some point one of their engineers mentioned that they deployed a couple of simple canaries in their cloud environment.  The information collected by the canaries was extremely valuable, the issue was identified and mitigated within an hour.  

Many internal public cloud teams use canaries to observe or augment other solutions. Canaries are easy to create, deploy and provide immediate data.  They can even be used to mitigate. However, managing many of them at once is problematic. Public cloud teams have platforms to manage their canaries and harvest their data.  Customer of public clouds do not.

Internally thousands of canaries are used to observe public clouds, but the customer had no platform to do the same, to manage the canaries and the data they collected.  It seemed an obvious pain point that could be fixed.

From that bridge call I decided to start Cloud Canaries to provide super smart canaries to cloud customers.  We made our cloud canaries inexpensive but given them superpowers.

One point to note, our canaries have evolved with Agentic AI to be Agents, chatty, smart and educated.
