Our story

For the people who own the pager

Built by the team that got paged at 3am.

Sentinel exists because production deserves better than a dashboard full of guesses. We build monitoring from the operator's side of the incident — skeptical, evidence-first, and ready when the world is asleep.

Why we started

The incident that made us stop trusting the green tick.

A regional network blip made one monitor scream. Another quietly stayed green. The team spent an hour debating the dashboard instead of fixing the customer impact. That was the moment: a monitor that can't explain itself is just another source of uncertainty.

“We didn't need more alerts. We needed a witness we could cross-examine.”

So we built the thing we wanted on-call: checks that ask the same question from multiple places, a quorum that refuses to panic over one bad hop, and an audit trail that tells the whole story without smoothing the edges.

The solution

Monitoring with a paper trail.

Sentinel is multi-region by construction, quorum-based by default, and unapologetically specific. When a check fails, you get the response, the route, the region, the screenshot, and the sequence of events that got you there.

“Reliability is not a colour in a status cell. It is a chain of evidence.”

How we work

Opinions forged in production.

The tooling follows the philosophy. We would rather be precise than impressive, and useful than loud.

01

Signal over noise

A page is a contract with someone who is sleeping. We earn it with quorum, context, and restraint.

02

Transparency in every operation

No mystery state. Every check, notification, and operator action leaves a durable trail you can inspect.

03

Security as a default

The secure path is the paved path. We make the boring, important decisions before the incident starts.

04

Reliability is non-negotiable

We design for degraded networks, tired humans, and the sharp edges of real production systems.
