Introduction
🦉 Welcome to AlertD
AlertD is a conversational agent platform built to help DevOps and SRE teams understand their AWS infrastructure and SDLC signals through natural language. Think of it as your AI-powered teammate for production uptime—designed to reduce toil, lighten cognitive load, and help you deliver better outcomes with greater confidence.
What is AlertD?
AlertD is powered by a system of intelligent agents that build and execute structured plans based on the questions you ask. Whether you’re looking for unused EC2 volumes, analyzing S3 buckets, tracking RDS performance, or investigating CloudWatch metrics, AlertD selects the right agent for the job, executes a plan behind the scenes, and returns easy-to-understand results.
You don’t need to write scripts, navigate complex dashboards, or remember AWS CLI commands. Just ask your question in plain English, and AlertD handles the rest.
Our Mission
AlertD was founded in 2024 with a clear mission: to become the essential tool for managing production uptime.
Just as GitHub Copilot and Cursor boost developer productivity during the build phase, AlertD is designed to enhance productivity during the run phase—when systems are live and stakes are high. Think of AlertD as the “Slack for production uptime”—a daily-use platform that empowers teams to manage infrastructure confidently and collaboratively.
We’re starting in the AWS ecosystem with select design partners in private beta. While that’s our starting point, our broader vision is to bring clarity and control to the entire software development lifecycle. Our goal is to help DevOps and SRE teams reduce toil, lighten cognitive load, and improve their ability to deliver outcomes—all while driving meaningful gains in reliability and productivity.
Key Capabilities
Conversational Infrastructure Queries
Ask questions like “Which EC2 instances are underutilized?” or “What EBS volumes are unattached?” and get structured, actionable answers in seconds.
Transparent Execution Plans
Every query generates a custom execution plan with discrete steps. You can see exactly what the agent did, inspect data streams at each stage, and understand how results were derived.
Multi-Service AWS Support
AlertD currently supports Amazon EC2, S3, EBS, RDS, Route 53, and more—with CloudWatch metrics integration for performance analysis and optimization recommendations.
Team Collaboration
Share insights across your workspace. View your teammates’ questions and sessions, avoid duplicated work, and build on collective knowledge.
Read-Only Security
AlertD uses ephemeral AWS STS tokens with read-only access to CloudWatch. No write permissions, no permanent credentials, no risk to your infrastructure.
