Better Stack
One observability platform for uptime, incidents, logs, and status pages.
About
Better Stack is a cloud observability platform that consolidates uptime monitoring, incident management, on-call scheduling, log management, metrics, tracing, and status pages into a single dashboard. Uptime checks run every 30 seconds from multiple regions with incident verification across locations to cut false positives, and logs are queryable with SQL or PromQL in the same interface where alerts surface.
The platform ships an AI SRE agent that works inside Slack or Teams, generates automated post-mortems from incident timelines, and produces AI-based root-cause suggestions that can create Linear tickets in one tap. A Better Stack MCP server exposes around 80 tools so coding agents can operate logs, metrics, traces, and errors directly. Pricing is fixed and volume-based with a free tier covering 10 monitors, heartbeats, and a status page.
