How Foam works

Root cause, routed.

1

Ingests every error

Every error, every service. Foam clusters repeats into one issue, not dozens of alerts.

2

Evaluates whether it matters

For every error, Foam asks:

  • Is it new?
  • Is it spiking?
  • Did it follow a deploy?
  • Is it spreading across services?
  • Is it user-impacting?

Known, stable errors stay quiet.

3

Investigates across your stack

When an error matters, Foam pulls logs, traces, and metrics to reconstruct what happened.

  • Follows service boundaries
  • Checks deploys and config changes
  • Separates cause from symptoms
  • Finds the originating change

The output is a timeline, evidence, blast radius, and root cause.

4

Alerts the right person with the answer

The right engineer, agent, or team channel gets the report in Slack.

  • Routes by root cause
  • Sends to a DM, channel, or both
  • Includes summary, blast radius, and report
