Small team
Three to ten engineers, usually no dedicated SRE. You would rather have your engineers shipping than debugging.
Who It's For
Foam is for teams that need production issues fixed fast.
On-call team
Foam triages the error and routes it to the engineer who should fix it. The team gets a root cause, not a flood of alerts.
Revenue on the line
When critical paths break, SLAs slip, customers lose trust, and revenue is lost.
