The loop
closes itself.
Heron watches your infrastructure, detects what matters, and acts — before your phone rings. Every incident makes it smarter.
The problem
It's 3 AM.
Your phone rings. Again.
Modern infrastructure is too complex and too fast for humans to watch alone. The on-call rotation is burning out your best engineers — not because they can't handle real incidents, but because 90% of what wakes them up shouldn't.
847 alerts per day
The average SRE team receives thousands of signals hourly. Over 90% are noise. Your engineers are on-call for the 3%.
52 minutes average MTTR
Half that time is recreation — understanding what happened, finding the runbook, remembering how it was fixed last time.
Knowledge walks out the door
Senior engineers leave. Every workaround, every known failure mode, every hard-won fix — gone. Your team starts from zero.
“MTTR stays high not because engineers lack skill — but because institutional knowledge doesn't compound.”
The closed loop
Seven steps. No humans required.
Heron runs a continuous autonomous loop around your infrastructure. Most incidents close before anyone is paged.
Every signal ingested and normalised in real time
Anomalies surfaced, alert noise filtered
AI selects the highest-confidence remediation
Approved action executed autonomously
Outcome confirmed before closing
Human loop-in when confidence is low
Every outcome recorded in Chronicle
Chronicle — The Moat
Heron never
forgets.
Every incident, decision, and outcome is written to Chronicle — a structured, queryable knowledge base. The longer Heron runs, the more it knows. The more it knows, the faster it resolves. The data doesn't just accumulate. It compounds.
How it works
Four steps to autonomous ops.
Connect your stack
Point Heron at your Kubernetes clusters, alert manager, Jira, and Slack. Five minutes to first signal ingested.
Heron watches everything
Signals stream in from every source. Noise is filtered. Anomalies are correlated. Patterns are matched against Chronicle history.
The loop runs autonomously
For known patterns, Heron decides, acts, and verifies without human input. For novel incidents, it escalates with full context.
Chronicle remembers
Every outcome — success, failure, near-miss — is recorded. Confidence scores update. Next time is faster.
Integrations
Plugs into the stack you already run.
Heron connects to your existing tools in minutes. No agent. No vendor lock-in.

Our name
Named after
the first engineer
of autonomous machines.
Alexandria, Egypt. Circa 60 AD.
In the great city of Alexandria, a mathematician named Heron spent his life solving a single problem: how do you make a system act on its own?
He built doors that opened automatically when a signal was detected — heat from a temple altar triggering a chain of mechanisms no human hand had to touch. He built the world's first coin-operated vending machine. A programmable cart that followed a preset route. A wind-powered organ. Every machine shared the same soul: observe a signal, respond without hesitation, complete the loop.
His writings — the Pneumatica, the Automata, the Mechanica — were copied, translated, passed from Arabic scholars to European engineers, and formed the intellectual bedrock of the Industrial Revolution. Watt's steam governor. The thermostat. The autopilot. Every self-regulating machine that followed owed something to the workshop in Alexandria.
Heron died leaving no grand monuments. What he left was a way of thinking: that a well-designed system should not need a human standing over it, waiting for something to go wrong.
“This platform carries his name because it carries his idea. When Heron resolves an incident at 3 AM before anyone wakes up, it is doing exactly what the engineer in Alexandria spent his life trying to prove was possible.”
The loop closes itself. It always has.
