Scale Reliability

This page explains how Causely helps you maintain reliability across complex, fast-changing systems at scale by automatically understanding your entire environment and reducing alert noise.

Once you've installed Causely, the system automatically generates your topology graph and identifies root causes, even as your system grows and changes. For more details on how Causely builds this understanding, see How Causely Works.

Automatic Discovery at Scale​

As your system evolves, Causely automatically discovers new services, entities, and relationships without manual configuration. This keeps your reliability insights current as you scale, whether you're:

  • Deploying new services or applications
  • Adding infrastructure components
  • Changing service dependencies
  • Scaling horizontally or vertically

The system continuously updates its understanding of your environment, adapting to new deployments, releases, infrastructure changes, and performance patterns.

Reduce Alert Noise​

At scale, alert noise becomes overwhelming. Traditional alerting systems create one alert per symptom, leading to alert storms that make it impossible to identify what actually matters.

Causely reduces noise by identifying root causes that explain multiple symptoms. Instead of receiving hundreds of alerts, you get a single root cause notification that explains the underlying issue. This helps you focus on what matters and maintain reliability even as your system grows.

Improve Reliability at Scale​

To better maintain reliability as you scale:

  • Connect more telemetry: Add additional telemetry sources to provide comprehensive coverage across your entire system. More telemetry means better discovery and more accurate root cause inference.

  • Configure scopes: Set up scopes to organize your entities and manage complexity as your system grows.

  • Define service priorities: Configure service tiers to help Causely prioritize which services matter most, especially important at scale when you have many services.

  • Set up SLOs: Configure SLOs to help Causely understand your reliability goals across all your services and better identify when root causes are putting your SLOs at risk.

  • Use Reliability Delta: Track reliability trends over time with Reliability Delta to understand how your system's reliability changes as it scales.
