FAQ
Do I need to write code, or instrument anything?
No. Foam does it for you. All you have to do is review PRs.
How long does installation take?
About 30 minutes — that's how long it usually takes Foam to open its setup PR after you connect GitHub.
Do I need to uninstall Datadog, Sentry, or my current observability?
No. Foam runs alongside other tools. Keep everything you already have.
What do the alpha and beta labels mean?
Beta means we have built out most or all of this functionality and have been using it internally for a while, but it isn't yet ready for a general release. Alpha means we've created a subset of the experience and it has been released to our developers internally and developed alongside partners.
“We asked Foam what was going wrong and it answered before we even finished the question. Their CEO stayed in our channel until it was fully useful.”
“Forty alerts a day and none of them meant anything. Now Foam tells us what actually matters and acts on the rest.”
“Before our users even get to ping us, Foam has already explained the issue and pointed us to the cause.”
“I used to lose a whole day checking my changes in prod. Now I just ask Foam and get answers in seconds.”
“Frontend and backend are fully linked now. I ask one question and get the full picture across every service.”
