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.
