Introducing Watchtower: The Future of Observability

By The Watchtower Team•10/20/2025•2 min read

Today, we are incredibly excited to pull back the curtain on a project we’ve been passionately building: Watchtower.

Watchtower is more than just another logging tool. It’s an AI-powered observability platform designed to help you understand the health of your applications in real-time, anticipate issues before they impact your users, and gain deep insights from your event data.

The Problem with Modern Observability

As applications become more distributed and complex, traditional monitoring tools have struggled to keep up. Teams are drowning in a sea of logs, metrics, and traces, making it nearly impossible to get a clear picture of what’s happening across their systems.

We built Watchtower to solve this problem. Our platform is built on three core principles:

  1. Simplicity: Integrating Watchtower should be effortless. Our API is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing you to start sending events in minutes.
  2. Intelligence: We believe that observability should be more than just data collection. Watchtower uses AI to analyze your event stream, detect anomalies, and provide actionable insights.
  3. Speed: In a world of microservices and real-time applications, you need data that is up-to-the-second. Watchtower is built for speed, with a low-latency ingestion pipeline and real-time alerting.

Key Features

Here are just a few of the features that make Watchtower stand out:

  • AI-Powered Summaries: Get high-level overviews of your event data without having to dig through thousands of logs.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Connect Watchtower to Slack, Discord, or Telegram and get notified the moment an issue is detected.
  • Flexible Ingestion: Our simple, JSON-based API allows you to send any type of event data, from any source.
  • Multi-Project Support: Organize your event data into projects, each with its own API key and settings.

Get Started for Free

We believe that every developer should have access to powerful observability tools. That’s why we’re offering a generous free plan that includes 500 AI credits every month.
