Hello HN! My name is Max, and I’m a co-founder at Lynx (https://uselynx.ai). We’re building an AI-powered incident resolution platform to help engineers debug and resolve on-call issues faster. If you’ve ever been paged in the middle of the night and had to spend hours piecing together logs, metrics, and code, we’d love your feedback.

* The Problem *

On-call hasn’t kept pace with modern engineering. Even with great observability tools, diagnosing incidents is slow because:

- Systems are increasingly complex.

- Logs, dashboards, and documentation are scattered.

- Context often depends on tribal knowledge.

Lynx is designed to reduce the time and manual effort involved in incident resolution.

* How It Works *

Lynx runs on your servers and integrates seamlessly with your existing stack—including your codebase, infrastructure, logs, metrics, tracing, CI/CD, and cloud services.

- Direct Integration: Lynx connects via a local agent installed on your servers. This agent interfaces directly with your systems, enabling real-time command execution, log retrieval, status checks, and overall infrastructure interaction.

- Automatic Context Aggregation: Using our proprietary chain-of-thought execution process, Lynx automatically gathers and synthesizes context from across your stack—from logs and metrics to code insights and infrastructure status.

- Command Generation and Execution: With the aggregated context, Lynx generates targeted commands and executes them to resolve issues, streamlining debugging and remediation.

Our method delivers direct, actionable insights and interventions that accelerate incident resolution and overcomes many limitations of traditional diagnostic tools.

* Safety and Security *

We built Lynx with security in mind to ensure it only takes safe, controlled actions:

- Manual Command Approvals: You can require manual approval before any command is executed.

- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Lynx supports RBAC for many integrations. You can grant specific permissions for investigative tasks while restricting access to sensitive operations or data.

- Optional On-Prem Hosting: Lynx can be deployed on-prem or in your private cloud, keeping all data and operations within your network.

* Looking for Feedback *

If your team deals with heavy on-call loads, we’d like to hear how you’re managing debugging today and any feedback on our approach.
