AI native incident management with built in on call and status pages, plus an AI SRE that runs eBPF based service map and log analysis for root cause and proposes hypotheses without taking action without approval.

Better Stack is an AI native incident management platform that combines on call scheduling, incident response and status pages in one product, with an AI SRE that runs automated root cause analysis on an eBPF based service map and log analysis. The AI SRE proposes hypotheses but never takes automated actions without approval, and a first class MCP server exposes the platform's telemetry to LLM workflows including Claude Code. Pricing is self serve, starting around 20 dollars per user per month with a free tier.
