🧠 I got tired of debugging through 7+ dashboards… so I built Overcast

Hey everyone šŸ‘‹

I’m Raghav, and like most engineers, I’ve spent far too many late nights piecing together what went wrong in production.

Every time something broke, I’d jump between logs, dashboards, metrics, and Slack threads, trying to stitch together what actually happened. By the time I figured it out, the fire was (mostly) out, but so was my patience šŸ˜…

So I built Overcast, an AI incident copilot that reads your logs, builds an incident timeline, finds the root cause, and suggests possible fixes.
It’s like having an assistant that does all the detective work across logs, metrics, and traces... So you can focus on actually solving the issue.

Right now, you can:

  • Feed logs manually or connect a log agent for real-time monitoring

  • Instantly get RCA, solution steps, and diagnostics

  • Ask questions like ā€œWhat caused the failure?ā€ in plain English

If you’ve ever been on call at 2AM staring at a sea of logs, this is the tool I wish I had back then.

I’d love your feedback - what’s the most painful part of your incident workflow right now?

    Hey, strong concept! But for B2B use, the challenge will be data access and privacy. Many companies won’t send raw logs to a third-party AI unless it runs fully on-prem or with strict encryption. Is Overcast designed to process data locally or through a secure integration? That detail will decide how fast enterprises adopt it.

      Absolutely, that's a very good question. We are using TLS, encryption and also prepping for our SOC2 compliance audit. But you are correct. For us to be used by enterprises, we need to have all our checks and balances done

        Oh,yeah that makes sense, it's a smart move for enterprise environments.

        By the way, you might find this useful, we are hosting an online Q&A event for B2B SaaS founders with both marketing and technical specialists who helped startups grow in Silicon Valley. It is a one hour session where you can bring up your current challenges and get direct practical advice. I think it could be a great fit for you and Overcast.

    That’s really cool, Raghav šŸ‘
    I’m not in DevOps, but I totally get the pain of trying to piece data together from multiple sources.
    I’ve been working on something similar (in a different space) — a platform that simplifies solar system research by aggregating real-time solar panel prices.
    The goal’s the same: save people time by connecting scattered data into one clear view.
    Love the concept of Overcast — clean execution! šŸŒž

      Solar panel system research sounds fun! Would love to see how your product matures.
