Full-stack observability platform that detects issues across infrastructure, APM, and RUM,

Visit Middleware

Middleware is a full-stack observability platform that unifies monitoring across infrastructure, applications, and user experiences. It addresses the challenge of detecting, diagnosing, and resolving issues in complex cloud-native environments by correlating data from multiple sources on a single timeline, reducing the time spent on debugging and troubleshooting.

The platform integrates application performance monitoring (APM), log monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, container monitoring, real user monitoring (RUM), synthetic monitoring, database monitoring, and LLM observability. Its OpsAI agent automatically detects anomalies, correlates signals across the stack, pinpoints root causes, and provides suggested fixes. Middleware offers over 450 built-in integrations and supports auto-instrumentation for Kubernetes, Linux, and various databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Aurora.

Middleware is designed for engineering teams managing cloud-native infrastructure and applications. It offers a free tier with monthly limits, a pay-as-you-go option based on data volume and usage, and custom pricing for larger commitments with premium support. The free tier includes up to 100GB of data, 1,000 RUM sessions, 20,000 synthetic checks, and 2 million OpsAI tokens, with 14-day retention.
