Antimetal: the fix is only the beginning
Antimetal began by trimming cloud bills. Now it wants to run production systems - with an AI that keeps watching after the engineer declares victory.
The Bug That Refused to Reappear
Lightrun built a business around an awkward truth of software: the failure you most need to understand often appears only after the code is live. Its answer is to ask the running program for evidence, one line at a time.
The observability bill that made less data look like a feature
OpenObserve wants engineers to keep the logs, metrics and traces they need without treating every new byte as a financial emergency. Its wager is a Rust engine, compressed Parquet files and object storage - plus a business built around making that machinery usable.
Mezmo and the Art of Keeping Less
The company that once made logs easier to find now asks a more awkward question: why keep so many in the first place?
The Machine That Learned to Ask Better Questions
NeuBird built an AI engineer for the 3 a.m. outage. When its first version hit an accuracy ceiling, the fix was to let the machine investigate instead of handing it a prepared answer sheet.
The Company That Arrives After the Alarm
Most outage software begins with the page. incident.io built for the awkward minutes after it - then kept going until paging, response, customer updates and AI investigation lived in one room.
Corelayer
Corelayer is an AI-native production support platform - an 'AI on-call engineer' - built for regulated, data-heavy industries like finance, healthcare, and insurance. It continuously watches alerts, logs, infrastructure, and the underlying data itself, then uses multi-agent AI to trace anomalies to root cause and suggest fixes. Founded in 2025 by former Goldman Sachs data-infrastructure engineers Mitch Radhuber and Shipra Jha, the company is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch.
Vibranium Labs
Vibranium Labs is a New York-based AI company building Vibe AI, an agentic 'AI Site Reliability Engineer' that acts as the first responder to IT incidents. Its Vibe OnCall platform pages AI agents to detect, triage, and resolve outages before human engineers are woken up, integrating with tools like Slack, PagerDuty, Datadog, Jira, and ServiceNow. The company says its agents cut mean time to resolution by up to 85%, and positions itself as an AI-native alternative to PagerDuty and Opsgenie. Founded by Sang Lee (ex-Google, ex-AWS) with FiscalNote co-founder Tim Hwang, it raised $4.6M in seed funding in September 2025.
Resolve AI
Resolve AI builds an agentic AI Production Engineer that handles alerts, investigates incidents, and performs root cause analysis on production systems - reducing on-call toil for engineering teams at companies like DoorDash, Coinbase, and Snowflake.
