Triage emerging issues
before they cause incidents

Detect production errors and performance degradations as they arise. Correlate these service-level issues with execution evidence to prioritize incidents.

Lightrun AI SRE interface with reversible AI actions and runtime latency insights

Prove root causes with
live runtime evidence

Lightrun AI SRE instruments running applications at the failure point to fill data gaps left by static telemetry. The AI’s reasoning is evidence, not probability-based.

Frequently asked questions
about Lightrun AI SRE

What is an AI SRE?

An AI SRE is an autonomous system that manages the full reliability lifecycle, detection, triage, root cause analysis, fix validation, and postmortems, without constant human input. Unlike copilots or static automation, it can act independently, learn, and adapt to new failure scenarios.

How does Lightrun AI SRE differ from other AI SRE tools?

While most AI SRE tools can only reason over existing data and telemetry, Lightrun AI SRE is able to safely generate runtime data from live running application on demand. This allows the AI to prove a root cause and validate fixes, without relying on probability and inference.

How does Lightrun AI SRE integrate with PagerDuty and Slack?

Lightrun integrates into existing incident response workflows by serving as a real-time investigation layer. When an alert is triggered in a tool like PagerDuty or an APM, Lightrun AI SRE can automatically surface a live snapshot of the error directly within a dedicated Slack incident channel. This integration eliminates the need for context switching, allowing engineering teams to view live runtime evidence and variable states within their primary communication platform.

Can Lightrun AI SRE help with impact assessment during a system outage?

Yes, Lightrun AI SRE includes specialized workflows designed to evaluate the blast radius and business severity of an ongoing incident. By querying infrastructure and telemetry connectors, the AI identifies which specific services are degraded and which user segments are being affected in real-time. This automated assessment allows on-call engineers to prioritize their response efforts based on the actual scale of the impact rather than estimated severity levels.

How does the AI SRE assistant interact with team members in Slack?

The AI SRE assistant operates as an interactive member of your communication stack by providing natural language investigation results directly within Slack. When an incident is detected or a question is asked via the Slack interface, the AI performs the necessary backend queries across your connected tools and posts its findings, evidence, and suggested next steps into the channel. This creates a shared source of truth for the entire response team and allows multiple engineers to collaborate on the AI’s output without switching between different dashboard environments.

How does Lightrun AI SRE connect to an existing DevOps toolchain?

Lightrun AI SRE functions as a centralized orchestration layer that integrates natively with code repositories, telemetry providers, and communication platforms through a series of pre-built connectors. By linking directly to systems like GitHub for code context, Datadog or Prometheus for metrics, and Slack for collaboration, the AI can cross-reference real-time system behavior with recent code changes. This unified access allows the assistant to query multiple siloed systems simultaneously to build a comprehensive evidence chain without requiring manual data extraction from the user.
