Product Introduction
- Ops AI by Middleware is an observability co-pilot designed to automate the detection and resolution of production issues across full-stack systems. It integrates data from APM traces, Real User Monitoring (RUM), logs, infrastructure metrics, and synthetic monitoring to identify anomalies, errors, and performance bottlenecks. The platform leverages AI to generate fixes, deploy solutions via one-click actions, and create pull requests in GitHub for code-level corrections.
- The core value of Ops AI lies in its ability to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by 5x while increasing developer productivity by 80%. It eliminates manual debugging by correlating issues across distributed systems and providing actionable insights, enabling teams to prioritize critical problems and maintain application uptime.
Main Features
- Ops AI automatically detects issues across APM traces, RUM sessions, logs, infrastructure metrics, and synthetic monitoring without requiring third-party agents. It uses machine learning to correlate errors, identify root causes, and surface patterns in real time.
- The platform provides one-click fixes for code-level errors, performance bottlenecks, and infrastructure misconfigurations, followed by automated pull request generation in GitHub for seamless integration into development workflows.
- Ops AI offers AI-powered anomaly detection that eliminates false positives by analyzing application behavior, infrastructure health, and log patterns. It sends real-time alerts with contextual data, such as Kubernetes pod crashes or memory leaks, and suggests remediation steps.
Problems Solved
- Ops AI addresses the inefficiency of manual issue triage and debugging in complex, distributed systems. It solves the challenge of correlating errors across APM, RUM, logs, and infrastructure metrics to pinpoint root causes without siloed tools.
- The product targets engineering teams, DevOps engineers, and SREs managing large-scale applications who struggle with high MTTR, alert fatigue, and fragmented observability workflows.
- Typical use cases include resolving frontend JavaScript errors detected via RUM, debugging Kubernetes pod crashes, fixing database query bottlenecks, and addressing logical errors in backend code (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js).
Unique Advantages
- Unlike traditional observability tools like Datadog or New Relic, Ops AI combines automated issue resolution with GitHub integration, enabling direct code fixes rather than just alerting. It operates without third-party agents, reducing setup complexity.
- The platform’s AI analyzes only error-related code snippets via the Middleware Control Plane (MCP) server, ensuring data privacy by avoiding full codebase access. It also supports all programming languages and frameworks natively.
- Competitive advantages include a unified interface for logs, traces, and metrics; AI-driven pull request generation; and real-time anomaly detection with zero false positives. These features are not available in legacy alternatives like Dynatrace or Grafana.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What programming languages does Ops AI support? Ops AI supports all languages, including Java, Node.js, Python, Go, and frontend frameworks like React and Angular. Developers can integrate it via APM agents or JavaScript snippets without language-specific restrictions.
- How do I enable Ops AI for my applications? Install Middleware’s APM agent for backend services or embed a JavaScript snippet for frontend monitoring. Ops AI automatically starts analyzing errors and performance data without additional configuration.
- What types of issues can Ops AI fix? The platform resolves application crashes, slow database queries, Kubernetes resource leaks, frontend rendering errors, and logical code flaws. It cannot fix hardware-related infrastructure issues or third-party API outages.
- What access permissions does Ops AI require? GitHub integration is optional but recommended for pull request generation. Ops AI accesses only error-related code files via the MCP server, with no storage of sensitive codebase data.
- How does Ops AI improve developer productivity? By automating 60% of production issue resolutions and reducing manual debugging, Ops AI allows developers to focus on feature development. It provides pre-validated fixes and reduces context-switching between monitoring tools.
