We were tired of creating alerts for our applications, so we've built an open-source GitHub Bot that lets you write application alerts using plain English. The code is open-sourced: https://github.com/keephq/keep so you can review it yourself.

Every developer and DevOps professional is familiar with the fact that in order to ensure your application works in production, you need to access your observability tool's user interface (such as Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, etc.) and carefully determine how to create alerts that effectively monitor your application.

Instead, by installing Keep, every time you open a PR, the bot combines the alert description (alerts under the .keep directory) with the tool context (mostly the configuration of the alerts you already have) to generate (GPT) new alerts that keep you monitored.

So, for example, if you create a .keep/db-timeout.yaml and open a PR, the bot will comment on the PR with the actual alert you can deploy to your tool.

# The alert text in plain English alert: | Alert when the connections to the database are slower than 5 seconds for more than 5 minutes provider: grafana

You can Install the bot and connect your providers via https://platform.keephq.dev (after login, you'll start the installation flow) or just clone the repository and use docker-compose to start the web app and the installation flow.
