Building Parity: The AI SRE

β€œChances 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.”

🎯

Intelligent Triage

Parity integrates with alerting solutions like PagerDuty and Datadog to automatically triage incoming alerts.

πŸ”

Root Cause Analysis

Before you've opened your laptop, Parity has conducted an investigation to determine root cause.

⚑

Automated Remediation

Suggests remediation steps and can execute runbooks just like a human engineer would.

Beyond the Code

When not building the future of incident response, Wilson loves to climb, ski, hike, backpack, run, and bike. He's an aspiring ski mountaineer who loves any chance for multidisciplinary adventures in the outdoors.
