DETECTION

Catch incidents before customers do

Industry-average MTTD is 4+ hours, the team finds out from a customer or the CEO before they find out from monitoring.

"When my service starts misbehaving, I want my own monitoring to be the first to know, so I can be fixing it before the support inbox lights up."

The problem

Most outages do not start as a metric crossing a threshold, they start as a subtle change in pattern: a slow uptick in p99, a slight rise in queue depth, a deploy that nudged error rate up by 0.2%. Static thresholds miss those because they're set high enough to avoid noise. By the time the metric crosses the threshold, the incident has been live for an hour, the support inbox has 80 tickets, and the CEO has Slacked engineering.

How Nova solves it

Nova's predictive engine watches every signal and flags pattern deviations before they cross thresholds, with deploy and topology context applied automatically.

  1. Per-service learned baselines

    Nova builds a baseline per service and per signal from 30 days of history. Anomaly scores update every few seconds and the timeline surfaces the moment a service starts drifting.

  2. Deploy and traffic awareness

    A 5x spike during a known deploy is not the same as a 5x spike at 3am. Nova correlates anomalies with active deploys, maintenance windows, and traffic patterns to suppress expected behavior.

  3. Synthetic monitoring closes the gap

    Nova runs scripted user-journeys from external locations every 1-5 minutes, so even during low-traffic windows when RUM has no signal, you have a steady detection pulse.

Teams that switch from static thresholds to Nova's anomaly engine cut MTTD from hours to minutes, with false-positive rates lower than the threshold-based setup they replaced.
