Comprehensive Observability & Monitoring Services

TechNerds provides end-to-end observability and monitoring services for enterprise platforms. We ensure complete visibility into your infrastructure, applications, and services with centralized logging, metrics collection, dashboards, and intelligent alerting.

Our observability services cover the three pillars of monitoring—logs, metrics, and traces—providing comprehensive insight into system behavior, performance, and health. We specialize in building production-grade monitoring stacks for enterprise environments with SLA tracking, incident response integration, and comprehensive logging.

Core Stack: EFK, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager

We deploy and manage industry-standard observability tools including Elasticsearch-Fluentd-Kibana for logging, Prometheus for metrics, Grafana for visualization, and Alertmanager for intelligent alerting.
