Beacon
An observability platform that gives engineering teams a single, live view of production — service health, metrics, logs, traces and incidents in one place, so problems are caught and understood before customers ever feel them.

Overview
One live view of production — from a green dashboard to the root cause.
Most teams keep metrics in one tool, logs in another, and traces in a third. When something breaks at 2am, the first ten minutes are lost tab-hopping and copy-pasting trace IDs — long before anyone starts actually fixing the problem.
Beacon brings the whole picture into one fast, keyboard-driven console: a service-health overview, APM with a live service map and distributed traces, a log explorer, metrics, dashboards, alerts, incidents, on-call and SLOs. Built in React with an OKLCH token system and an Inter / JetBrains Mono pairing, it's dark-first with a light mode — engineered to stay legible when the dashboards turn red.

What we built
Every signal, one console.
Metrics, logs, traces and events share a single design language — so an engineer can pivot from a red KPI to the failing span without changing tools.
APM — traces & service map
Follow a request across services and find the slow or failing hop.
- Distributed traces with spans & errors
- Live service-map topology
- Per-service RPS, P50/P95 & error rate
- Profiles & dependency health
Logs, alerts & incidents
From a noisy log line to a managed incident, without leaving the console.
- Log explorer with live tail
- Alert rules & routing
- Incident timeline & on-call
- Public status pages
A closer look
From the whole system down to a single span.
The same fast, legible console zooms from a map of every service to the exact request that's failing.
Impact
Less tab-hopping, faster time to root cause.

Themes — dark & light
During the last incident we went from the alert to the exact failing span in under a minute — without leaving Beacon. That used to mean four tabs and ten minutes.
