in addition to anything your parents make, sometimes the best sandwich is the one my wife makes for my kids and they don't finish.

you also might want to check all the links in your footer. all the social links are broken and the blog links to some generic content.

we spent a bit of time with engineers in this space and identified two problems we’ve built solutions for: getting straight to the facts: beeps helps you get to context quickly when problems arise. we automatically listen for alerts from your observability systems like sentry, axiom, datadog and others and when things go wrong, we’ll track down all the context you usually get from opening tabs in your browser. things like your most recent deploys, the diffs of recent code changes, and checking to see if any of the external services (apis) are down. knowing if it’s you, or them: we automatically detect the service providers you use to build your app and will let you know if they’re having issues. developers typically will think it’s their code – and we help you eliminate the external provider as a potential cause quickly.

on-call has been a pain for almost every engineer i’ve ever talked to. i’m sure you all have thoughts on what we’ve built and where we should go next.

give it a shot and let us know what you think.

we use the data that we collect that generates the arewedownyet site as part of our beeps on-call platform -- check it out at beeps.co -- and we've found that having this set of vendors is really helpful for a certain set of engineers who build on the nextjs/react stack so we quickly put together this simple site.

We're building the simplest way for engineering teams to navigate and operate microservices. We're a small, early stage team backed by Kleiner Perkins & Cowboy Ventures.

Our platform stack is primarily Go on the backend (running services in Kubernetes and data pipelines in AWS Lambda) with gRPC via Envoy for interservice communication. Our frontend is React w/ TypeScript which talks to our backend via GraphQL. We have a whole host of other tooling and clients that are all primarily written in Go.

Long story short, we're looking for great engineers -- whether they be full stack, infrastructure, or customer-service focused. Check us out at https://effx.com/careers
