The problem

Common Challenges You Face

Real problems experienced by teams like yours every day

Slow Growth Due to Performance

“Our product is great, but slow page loads and bugs are hurting our growth metrics and word-of-mouth.”

Finding Issues After Users Report Them

“We only discover critical bugs when users complain on Twitter or in support tickets, damaging our reputation.”

Scaling Surprises

“Our app crashes during demo calls or when we get featured on Product Hunt because we didn't know our infrastructure limits.”

Can't Afford Enterprise Monitoring

“Datadog and New Relic cost more than our AWS bill, but we need proper monitoring to compete.”

Launch Faster with Built-in Observability

  • Real User Monitoring tracks actual user behavior from day one to understand how customers interact with your product across devices and regions.
  • Error Tracking identifies bugs before users report them so your small team can fix critical issues fast without dedicated QA resources.
  • Infrastructure Monitoring shows exactly what resources you're using so you can optimize cloud costs and avoid over-provisioning as you scale.
  • Quick Setup gets monitoring running in minutes with minimal code changes so developers focus on building features, not configuring tools.
Launch Faster with Built-in Observability

Identify and Resolve Issues Before They Impact Users

  • APM identifies performance bottlenecks early so you can fix slow API calls and database queries before they affect user experience.
  • Distributed Tracing shows where requests slow down across your microservices to optimize architecture as you grow from monolith to distributed systems.
  • Custom Alerts notify your team of critical issues automatically with configurable thresholds for errors, response times, and resource usage.
  • Database Monitoring identifies slow queries and connection issues that degrade application performance as your user base grows.

Ship Features with Confidence

  • Deployment Tracking shows impact of every release so you know immediately if new code caused errors, slowdowns, or user drop-offs.
  • A/B Test Monitoring compares performance between feature variants to ensure new experiences are fast and stable, not just functional.
  • Session Replay lets you see exactly what users experienced so you can reproduce bugs without lengthy back-and-forth with frustrated customers.
  • Real-time Dashboards give investors and stakeholders visibility into product health and user engagement metrics.
Ship Features with Confidence

Optimize User Experience to Drive Growth

  • Core Web Vitals tracking ensures your product loads fast and feels responsive to compete with established players in your market.
  • Conversion Funnel Analysis identifies where users drop off due to performance issues, not product-market fit problems.
  • Geographic Performance Insights show if users in specific regions experience slow loading so you can expand CDN coverage strategically.
  • Device and Browser Segmentation compares performance across different user environments to prioritize optimization efforts.

Customers

Powering better performance for modern teams

"Solid Product even better support." The integration path is incredibly simple/easy and the overall interface is very intuitive. That said, I had a handful of odd use cases that the support team was incredibly responsive in helping me work through.

FAQ

Questions Engineers Ask Before Buying

Pricing, deployment, data and the agent. If something is missing, a person will answer it on a demo call.

  • Runaway cloud costs often come from over-provisioned resources, zombie instances, or inefficient database queries hitting your database thousands of times per hour. Atatus shows you exactly where you're wasting money.

    Track which services consume the most CPU and memory. See if you're running oversized EC2 instances that could be downsized. Identify database queries that could be optimized or cached. Most startups cut cloud costs by 30-40% within the first month by rightsizing based on Atatus data.

  • Load test your application and monitor key metrics with Atatus to understand your capacity limits before users hit them. See how response times, error rates, and resource usage change as traffic increases.

    Set up synthetic monitoring to simulate user traffic patterns at different scales. Identify bottlenecks (slow API endpoints, database connection limits, memory leaks) that would fail under 10x traffic. Fix scaling issues proactively instead of during a Product Hunt launch.

  • Yes, Atatus is designed for lean teams. Set up full-stack monitoring in under 30 minutes with our SDKs and auto-instrumentation. No need to hire a dedicated DevOps engineer or spend weeks configuring tools.

    Start with our startup-friendly pricing (free tier for early teams, pay-as-you-grow pricing). Get pre-configured dashboards for common tech stacks (Node.js + React + MongoDB, Python + Django + Postgres, etc.). When issues occur, clear alerts tell you exactly what's wrong and where to look.

  • Focus on metrics that directly impact your users and runway:

    • API response times - Slow endpoints frustrate users and hurt conversion
    • Error rates - Catch bugs before users report them or churn
    • Server uptime - Every minute of downtime costs you credibility
    • Database performance - Slow queries compound as you add users
    • Cloud costs - Prevent bill shock and extend your runway

    Atatus's startup dashboard shows all of these in one place. Add custom business metrics (signups, conversions, active users) as you grow.

  • Atatus alerts you before issues become outages. Set up smart alerts based on thresholds that matter (error rate spikes, API latency > 2s, CPU > 90%).

    Get notified via Slack, PagerDuty, or email when something goes wrong. Alerts include context (which endpoint is failing, exact error message, affected users) so you can fix issues in minutes, not hours. Many startup founders sleep better knowing Atatus is watching their systems 24/7.

  • Absolutely. Atatus pricing scales with your usage (data volume, number of hosts), not your revenue. Start on the free tier, upgrade as you grow. No surprise bills or enterprise-only features locked behind paywalls.

    Many startups that started with Atatus at seed stage still use it as Series B companies monitoring thousands of servers. You won't outgrow it, and you won't pay for features you don't need.

  • No, Atatus is built for full-stack developers, not just infrastructure experts. If you can deploy code to production, you can set up Atatus.

    Install our agent with a few lines of code (npm install for Node.js, pip install for Python, etc.). Auto-instrumentation captures 80% of what you need to monitor without code changes. The dashboard explains metrics in plain English. When you do hire a DevOps engineer later, they'll appreciate that monitoring is already in place.
