Meet Chip,
Just instrument your apps — Chip does the rest.
Chip identifies and notifies you of issues that genuinely affect your systems and customers, ensuring you focus only on what’s critical.
Root Cause, with Receipts
Connect system failures to customer pain.
Chip watches your entire system – including dependencies, code commits, Kubernetes events, and more – to pinpoint the root cause of issues. It also performs real-time outlier and cohort detection to uncover the impact of issues on real users, customer segments, and critical revenue paths.
How It Works
Autonomous, Continuous Signal Improvement
Chip processes real-time data from your OpenTelemetry Collector without polling or vendor dependencies. It autonomously enhances signal quality by extracting meaningful information from high-value logs and spans, pushing rules directly into the Collector pipeline.
Chip Learns What Matters, and Who It Matters To
By continuously analyzing your system's behavior, Chip autonomously establishes Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and monitors for deviations. When issues arise, it doesn't just alert you — it identifies which customer segments are affected, ensuring you focus on problems that truly impact your users and business.

FAQ
Do I need to migrate from my existing Observability vendor?
No! We know how tedious migrations can be, and dislike them as much as you do. Chip can happily co-exist with your current o11y vendor or stack (until you decide you don't need it :)). You can send Chip a fork of your telemetry data using the OpenTelemetry pipeline that we help you set up during onboarding.
What tech stacks can Chip monitor?
Chip works best monitoring apps and services written in Java (or other JVM languages), Go, Node.js, Python, or Ruby, that are deployed on Kubernetes clusters. If you're not deployed on Kubernetes, we might still have something for you. Reach out to hello@cardinalhq.io and let us know!
Is Chip a good fit for my company or team?
We built Chip for high-velocity teams that are focused on building and shipping world-class products, and don't have the time or expertise to configure and maintain complex observability and monitoring tools. If that sounds like your team, Chip can become the Monitoring Agent that watches your back, with minimal effort on your part. That said, even if your company has made significant investments in observability and monitoring, we think you might still find Chip valuable, and would love for you to try us out!
How much time would I need to try Chip out?
Our customers are typically able to complete onboarding in under 30 minutes. This includes setting up vendor-neutral, OpenTelemetry auto-instrumention for your services, and an open-source Collector pipeline. Chip then begins to autonomously analyze and monitor critical telemetry signals, and alerts you only when high-impact issues are detected.
