HEIMDALL

See the incident
before it reaches you.

Heimdall watches your infrastructure continuously, explains what is happening in context, acts within the limits you set, and turns every incident into a sharper playbook, so it will never repeat in the future.

Give AI a system it can see.

The Synthetic Context Interface joins static architecture, operational process, and live state into one model agents can reason over.

Everything becomes context.

If it can be identified, related, sourced, and placed in time, SCI can make it visible to AI.

SCI resolves every event into who owns it, where it sits, why it changed, and what the impact is.

Give the agent context, not a data dump.

Agents and humans call SCI—not CloudWatch or X-Ray—and receive the smallest complete package needed to reason correctly.

Reason across structure, change, and state.

Because every fact refers to the same model, Heimdall can connect a live symptom to the release, dependency path, and business impact behind it.

Root cause hypothesisHigh confidence

Release v2.4.1 bypassed the canary stage and sent all checkout-api traffic to a cold payment-service connection pool.

  • Change v2.4.1 completed at 14:12
  • State p95 latency rose 4.8× at 14:16
  • Trace 92% of failures cross the same dependency
  • History Same pattern in 3 earlier incidents

Make the model smarter after every incident.

Resolution writes current state back to the CMDB, proposes a playbook improvement in Mimir, and returns that learning to SCI.
