Overview

Middleware is a full-stack observability platform that brings metrics, logs, traces and events into one place for developers and operations teams. It positions itself as a lower-cost alternative to incumbent monitoring vendors whose bills scale with data volume. Engineering teams use it to shorten the time from alert to root cause.
