Live Demo

20 Hours of SRE Work in 5 Minutes

Define your service once. NthLayer generates SLOs, alerts, dashboards, recording rules, and runbooks—with technology-specific best practices built in.

  • 99.6% Time Savings

  • Tech-Aware (PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka)

  • One Command for Everything

  • Real-Time Error Budget Tracking

Live Grafana Dashboards

See auto-generated dashboards for 6 production services. Each dashboard includes SLO metrics, service health, and technology-specific panels.

Dashboard Structure

Each dashboard is organized into: SLO Metrics → Service Health → Dependencies

Generated Alerts

118 production-ready Prometheus alerts across all services, sourced from awesome-prometheus-alerts.

SLO Portfolio

Track org-wide reliability with tier-based health scoring:

================================================================================
  NthLayer SLO Portfolio
================================================================================

Organization Health: 78% (14/18 services meeting SLOs)

By Tier:
  Critical:  ████████░░  83% (5/6 services)
  Standard:  ███████░░░  75% (6/8 services)
  Low:       ███████░░░  75% (3/4 services)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Services Needing Attention:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  payment-api (Tier 1)
    availability: 156% budget burned - EXHAUSTED
    Remaining: -12.5 hours

  search-api (Tier 2)
    latency-p99: 95% budget burned - WARNING
    Remaining: 1.2 hours

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 18 services, 16 with SLOs, 45 SLOs

Cross-Vendor Aggregation

Why this matters: PagerDuty can't give you this view—they want you locked into their ecosystem. NthLayer aggregates SLOs across any backend (Prometheus, Datadog, etc.) in a single, vendor-neutral portfolio.

PagerDuty Integration

Complete incident response setup with tier-based escalation policies.

  • Team Management

    Auto-creates teams with manager roles assigned to API key owner

  • On-Call Schedules

    Primary, secondary, and manager schedules with weekly rotation

  • Tier-Based Timing

    Critical: 5→15→30min | High: 15→30→60min | Low: 60min only

  • Service Linking

    Services linked to escalation policies with urgency settings

Support Models

Model Description
self Team handles all alerts 24/7
shared Team (day) + SRE (off-hours)
sre SRE handles all alerts
business_hours Team (9-5) + low-priority queue
