Observability shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Imagine this…
Your phone rings while you’re eating dinner, with the work day behind you.
It’s the CTO. They sound mad.
“Where have you been, don’t you know the site is down?”
Does this sound familiar, or like something you don’t want to experience?
It’s not too late to avoid that call.
We’re Observability experts and we’re here to help. Regardless of the size of your organization, your toolset, team culture, and on and on - we’ll help you keep eating dinner while it’s still hot.

“This Is Fine”
Greenfield
The Problem: We have nothing or very little in the way of observability tooling. We find out about incidents from other people. Troubleshooting is a bespoke and time consuming process. We don’t know where to start when something is wrong.
The Solution: NoBS.tech provides options for tooling, provides implementation assistance, and teaches best practices along the way for a solid and repeatable observability framework.
Brownfield
The Problem: We’ve setup tooling, but each team has their own tools way of doing things. Instrumentation is non-standard. We receive automated alerts, but don’t always do something. We still find incidents difficult to detect and resolve.
The Solution: NoBS.tech works with you to determine areas of opportunity for consolidation, coaching on a culture of observability, and assistance with standardizing observability across your organizations, all while making your alerts actionable and your data visible.

The Problem: Data is present but siloed. Everyone blames everyone. People don’t even wonder if an alert is actionable, they just ignore it. There are so many standards that they are not followed. Observability tools are a mess.
The Solution: NoBS.tech starts by reassuring you that everything will be ok. We provide a thorough evaluation of where you are and where you want to be, and provide the roadmap from here to there. There’s a lot more to this than we can fit here - get in touch.
* Yes, we made this up. Yes, it is also very real. Yes, we can help.
