Small Hours Product Information

Small Hours is an automated incident analysis and debugging platform designed to minimize downtime and maximize engineering efficiency. It offers 24/7 automated root cause analysis (RCA), intelligent issue triage, and seamless integration with your existing stack and runbooks. The solution emphasizes privacy, enterprise readiness, and developer-friendly workflows, enabling teams to resolve issues faster and maintain focus on core work.


How It Works

  1. Platform integration: OpenTelemetry support enables seamless integration with any stack. Connect your codebases, runbooks, alarms, and context to create a unified debugging environment.
  2. Contextual analysis: The tool ingests your configurations and runbooks as context and instructions to guide debugging and triage.
  3. Automated RCA: It automatically identifies root causes and suggests fixes, accelerating resolution times.
  4. Escalation & actions: Triages issues intelligently and can generate pull requests to implement recommended fixes.
  5. Privacy & security: Your code and data are secure and never stored by the service.
  6. Enterprise readiness: Scales to enterprise velocity and complexity, suitable for large teams and deployments.

Note: The product is designed to be used with your existing runbooks and prefers to work within your existing development and deployment workflows.
