Company profile
researched Aug 2026Steadwing markets itself as an autonomous on-call engineer for software engineering teams. When an alert fires, the product pulls context simultaneously from logs, metrics, traces, recent commits and chat history, correlates the signals, and produces a structured root cause analysis that includes a plain-language root cause, evidence linked back to the originating source tools, a timeline, an impact assessment, and both short-term and long-term fixes. The company states RCAs are delivered in under five minutes, and its website claims root cause identification in under 60 seconds.
Beyond diagnosis, Steadwing prepares remediations: it suggests fixes ranked by risk and can execute rollbacks, scaling adjustments and configuration changes, or open pull requests. Teams can run it in an approval mode where the agent proposes and a human approves, or in a fully autonomous mode for defined classes of incidents. In noisy environments the product groups related alerts — for example, 30+ alerts from a bad deploy cascading across microservices — into a single incident and distinguishes root cause from side effects. Users can ask follow-up questions about any incident conversationally, and the system is described as learning from past incidents and fixes so accuracy improves over time.
The product connects to more than 20 integrations, including Datadog, PagerDuty, Slack, GitHub, Sentry, AWS and Kubernetes, via OAuth or API key, with no agents to deploy and no code changes required. A third-party review lists coverage spanning observability (Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus in beta), alerting (PagerDuty, OpsGenie), communication (Slack), code (GitHub, GitLab in beta) and logs (Elasticsearch, Splunk on the enterprise tier). Steadwing also ships an MCP server so AI coding agents can interact with it from a developer environment, and has open-sourced OpenAlerts, a monitoring layer for agentic frameworks.
Founding story
Co-founders Abejith Murali (CEO) and Dev Khant (CTO) met through Entrepreneur First. Both had experienced the on-call scramble of correlating Datadog metrics, GitHub commits, Slack threads and Elasticsearch logs at 2am — a diagnosis process taking close to an hour for a fix that took minutes — and built Steadwing to automate that correlation step, with a stated long-term vision of self-healing software.
Business model
Self-serve SaaS sold directly to engineering teams, with a free entry tier, paid subscription tiers and a custom-priced enterprise plan. Signup requires no credit card and a demo mode is available.
Tiered monthly subscriptions gated on team size, monthly RCA volume and number of integrations: Free at $0/month (1 user, 10 RCAs, 2 integrations), Pro at $99/month (5 users, 50 RCAs, 5 integrations), Team at $199/month (10 users, 100 RCAs, unlimited integrations), and an Enterprise plan with custom limits, support and pricing on request.
Traction
Public traction signals are limited. The Show HN launch received 12 points and 5 comments, with commenters including one who said they were using it in production microservices. The company's DEV Community organization has 2 members and 3 published posts, which drew 103, 145 and 10 reactions. A third-party review notes there are no public case studies yet.
Latest developments
The Hacker News Show HN launch occurred in early March 2026, followed by a third-party review published 2026-03-20. The company's DEV Community organization was joined on 2026-04-21 and has published posts through 2026-06-08. Public pricing is now listed on the website, whereas the March 2026 review stated the product was in early access with pricing not publicly listed and access via waitlist.

Market position
Positioned as an autonomous diagnosis-and-remediation agent rather than an alert-routing or incident-management workflow tool. A third-party review contrasts it with PagerDuty's Operations Cloud (mature alert routing, AI layer not core, higher price point), Incident.io (incident management and retrospectives, not autonomous RCA), Blameless (SRE reliability scoring and SLO tracking) and AWS DevOps Guru (effective mainly within AWS-native stacks), arguing that none combine autonomous diagnosis with remediation generation in one product.
Combines automated root cause analysis with prepared remediations (pull requests, rollbacks, config changes) in a single product, correlates evidence across the full stack rather than a single telemetry source, groups cascading alerts into one incident to separate root cause from symptoms, learns from a customer's own incident history to improve over time, and installs without agents or code changes.
Technology
An LLM-based agent layer over existing observability, alerting, code and infrastructure tooling. It ingests logs, metrics, traces, commit history and prior incident reports, correlates them into a single incident view, and produces evidence-linked RCAs. Integrations connect via OAuth or API key without deploying agents or changing code. Additional components include an MCP server for AI coding agents and OpenAlerts, an open-source monitoring layer for agentic frameworks covering LLM errors, infrastructure failures, stuck sessions and queue buildup with Slack, Discord and Telegram notifications.
Go-to-market
Developer-led, bottom-up distribution: a free tier with no-credit-card self-serve signup at app.steadwing.com and a demo mode, supported by a Show HN launch, technical content marketing on DEV Community, an open-source project (OpenAlerts) and community channels on Twitter/X, GitHub, Discord and LinkedIn. Larger accounts are handled through a 'Book a Demo' and enterprise pricing request path.
Engineering, DevOps and SRE teams that run on-call rotations, particularly those already using Datadog, PagerDuty, Slack and GitHub. A third-party review characterises the addressable segments as startups with small engineering teams, scale-ups with complex microservice stacks, and enterprise SRE teams focused on reducing mean time to resolution.
Geography
Website and DEV Community profile list a San Francisco, California address (501 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94105). Contact is primarily online via email, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, GitHub and Discord.
History
The founders met through Entrepreneur First and concluded that incident response was fundamentally broken, with a long-term goal of making software self-healing. The company launched publicly on Hacker News in early March 2026 with a free tier and open signup, and published a public pricing page. It has also released the open-source OpenAlerts project and an MCP server.
Risks & controversies
A third-party review identifies adoption risks: output quality depends on the state of a customer's existing observability data; autonomous remediation requires guardrails and engineer trust before teams allow production changes without review; GitLab and Prometheus support were still in beta; and no public case studies existed at the time of review. Note also that some pricing and availability claims in that review (early access, waitlist-only, no public pricing, and an estimated $200-$500/team/month positioning) are speculative or contradicted by the company's published pricing page.
