We're excited to launch Parity, the world's first AI SRE, and announce that we're backed by Y Combinator (investors in Airbnb, Docker, and PagerDuty). Our launch is now live here on Launch YC and here on LinkedIn!

The Problem - On-call Sucks! 🚨

Chances are you or someone you know has had a terrible on-call experience. 2am pings on the weekends. A week of lugging your laptop around to the gym, your best friend’s birthday party, etc. Engineers often write off the week knowing that they’ll make 0 progress on their actual work and instead spend it deep in k8s hell.

The Solution - Parity! 🦾

Parity integrates with your alerting solution (i.e. PagerDuty, Datadog) to act as a new first line of defense for your k8s cluster. Before you’ve opened your laptop, Parity has already conducted an investigation to triage, determine root cause, and suggest a remediation.

If you have runbooks, add them to Parity, connect them to your existing alerts, and Parity will follow them just like you would. Don’t have runbooks yet? No problem - given an alert or a prompt like “there were latency spikes in X service today from 1-3pm”, Parity will open an investigation, gather information from your cluster, and test several hypotheses to determine the root cause.

Parity also has a Chat with Your Cluster feature. This allows Devs and SREs to quickly check the status and configuration of their cluster with natural language instead of having to find the right kubectl command and digging through CLI outputs and yaml files.

We currently integrate with Kubernetes (via AWS or GCP), Datadog, and PagerDuty with more integrations coming soon! If there’s an integration you’d like to see, just let us know.

The Team 🧑‍💻

Jeffrey, Coleman, and Wilson met working together at Crusoe. They rotated on-call with one another and know the pain first hand.

Jeffrey studied EECS+AI at CMU

Coleman studied CS+AI at Stanford

Wilson studied CS at MIT
