K8s Observability for Developers
Deploy in minutes with zero code changes or complex configs, get full context to detect and resolve app and infrastructure issues, and store granular data securely in your cloud at a fraction of the cost.
Deploy in minutes with zero code changes or complex configs.
Detect and resolve app and infra issues with complete context.
Granular data, stored securely in your cloud, at a fraction of the cost.
Observability shouldn't be hard or expensive
Unlike other tools, Kerno doesn’t demand thousands of engineering hours, petabytes of data, restrictive usage limits, or your entire budget to deliver useful observability. Instead, it's fast to install, easy for any engineer to use, and cost-effective to run. Simple.
Engineered to eliminate manual effort
Engineered to minimize manual effort
Kerno was built to help even the most resource-constrained teams establish a strong observability foundation. Our focus has always been on reducing the amount of manual effort required at every stage of the observability journey.
This focus makes Kerno incredibly simple to set up, maintain, and scale. It requires no code changes to your applications and eliminates the complexity of setting up, testing, optimizing, and maintaining multiple data pipelines, and agents.
We believe this approach will empower more teams to sustain a solid observability foundation as they grow, without adding unnecessary strain to their engineering or operations teams.
Designed for everyone on your team
Designed for everyone on your team
Kerno is designed to reduce cognitive load and align your entire engineering organization around a shared understanding of your systems. With opinionated workflows and a focused, decluttered experience, Kerno highlights the information that matters most, enabling faster decisions, better collaboration, and a stronger culture of shared ownership.
We believe this approach makes observability a true team effort. It is streamlined, intuitive, and accessible, empowering engineering teams to deliver reliable, high-quality software without unnecessary complexity and stress.
Optimized for cost efficiency at scale
Optimized for cost efficiency at scale
Kerno is built with cost efficiency at its core, ensuring that observability works for you, not against you.
From a unique architecture that gives you full control over your data and decouples pricing from data consumption to leveraging cost-effective object storage, edge processing, and deep kernel-level integration to reduce network, storage, and system resource costs, every aspect is engineered to empower teams to build and operate reliable software without unsustainable spending.
Get end-to-end K8s observability in minutes powered by eBPF
Install Kerno with a single Docker command and start seeing fully pre-configured dashboards, service maps, and all your application and infrastructure data in minutes without extra work for your engineering and Ops teams.
Instrument once, without any code changes, dev cycles, or complex configurations
Kerno uses eBPF to automatically capture granular application and infra data without requiring engineers to instrument their code continuously.
Store data securely inside your cloud without building or maintaining data pipelines
Kerno automatically deploys and manages everything you need to collect, process, and store data inside your cloud as cheaply and effectively as possible.
Get payload-level insights
Minimize system footprint at scale
Lower the barrier for developer adoption
Align your team around a simple, service-centered observability model that reflects how you naturally think about software. This makes the experience more intuitive for every engineer, enabling them to contribute more effectively to reliability.
Bridge the knowledge gap with a unified view
Kerno connects application, infrastructure, and change data within each service’s context, giving your team a clear, shared view.
Reduce noise with granular targeted alerts
Use a visual interface to set request-level alerts for critical issues and route them to the right team.
Work only with the data that matters
Kerno analyzes all data but retains only what’s needed, eliminating complex queries or the need to sift through thousands of logs.
