Today we are launching DevHelm — a reliability platform built to bring developer-first, agent-first monitoring infrastructure to the teams that need it most.
Seeing a massive shift in how site reliability is practiced, driven by the agentic AI wave, we decided that monitoring needed to be rebuilt around a different premise: something developers define in code, AI agents operate programmatically, and your entire team understands through clear external-facing artifacts. Everything we ship reflects that premise, from the core monitoring infrastructure to the way you interact with it.
Monitoring that understands your stack
At the foundation, DevHelm provides multi-protocol uptime monitoring — HTTP, DNS, TCP, and ICMP checks running from five continents at 30-second intervals with multi-region confirmation before any alert fires. That part is table stakes, and we made sure it works well.
What makes DevHelm different is what sits on top of it. We track over 100 external services — Stripe, AWS, GitHub, Auth0, OpenAI, and dozens more — and correlate their health with your monitors in real time. When a vendor degrades, you don't get a separate alert for every endpoint that happens to depend on it. You get one resource group alert that tells you what's affected and why, with the vendor incident already linked. The goal is signal, not noise: your team should spend time fixing problems, not figuring out whether a problem is even yours to fix.
Built for developers and their agents
The monitoring infrastructure is only useful if it's accessible to the tools and workflows that actually operate your stack. That's why every capability in DevHelm is available through a full developer surface from the free tier: a native CLI, Python and TypeScript SDKs, a Terraform provider, an MCP server, and pre-built skills for Cursor and Claude. Monitors can be defined in a YAML config in your repo and deployed through your CI pipeline — no dashboard clicks required.
In practice, this means an AI agent working in Cursor or Claude can define monitors, configure alert routing, set up a status page, and investigate an incident through the same programmatic interfaces a human developer would use. The platform doesn't distinguish between the two, because in the operating model we're building for, it shouldn't have to.
Status pages and incident communication
Reliability isn't just an internal discipline — it has an external face. Every DevHelm account includes a public status page with custom domain support, real-time monitor status, and subscriber notifications. Status pages are not an upsell; they are part of the reliability infrastructure, and they're included from day one.
What's next
We are launching with uptime monitoring, dependency intelligence, status pages, and the full developer artifact surface. This is the foundation. Our roadmap builds toward a unified reliability platform: deeper forensic investigation tools, richer incident lifecycle management, and tighter integration with the AI agents that increasingly operate alongside engineering teams.
