Why Strudel

Make every technical issue faster to find, understand & fix

Our Story

Why we built Strudel

We believe that "Mean Time to Resolution" (MTTR) shouldn't just be a metric—it should be a competitive advantage.

Most teams don’t have a tooling problem. They have a signal-to-action problem: too much noise, not enough context, and too many hours lost trying to understand “what happened” from logs, alerts, commits, and tickets.

We built an AI-native intelligence layer that automates the heavy lifting working within your existing stack to make it smarter.

AI-native & lightweight

Strudel is an agile layer designed to be deployed in minutes, bringing the power of AI to your ops without the heavy lift.

Observability integration

Keep using Datadog, Prometheus, or New Relic. We ingest those signals to autodetect anomalies early—filtering out the noise that causes fatigue.

Code correlation

Keep pushing to GitHub or GitLab. We correlate signals across logs and system events to pinpoint exactly what changed, what broke, and why.

Smarter ITSM workflows

Keep tracking in Jira or Linear. We deliver fix-ready, context-rich tickets to the right team automatically, accelerating resolution through AI-driven insights.

Our Principles

Built for High-Stakes Issue Management

Our principles keep Strudel lightweight, trustworthy, and relentlessly focused on faster resolution with less toil.

Reduce toil, not impact

We cut noise without sacrificing the context engineers depend on.

Earn trust over hype

We build for reliability, explainability, and real-world operations.

Make reliability compounding

We capture learnings from every incident so the system improves over time.

Respect the engineer’s time

We automate detection, triage, and investigation so engineers get their day back.
