Nika Architecture

Built for production SRE teams

30-second RCA

Alert to root cause analysis in seconds. Checks logs, metrics, runbooks, and past incidents automatically.

🧠

Self-improving memory

Learns from engineer feedback. 👍 confirms patterns, 👎 corrects them. Gets smarter with every incident.

🔒

PII protection

Blocks PAN, Aadhaar, credit card numbers before they reach the LLM. Compliance-ready for fintech.

🏠

Fully self-hosted

Your data never leaves your infrastructure. Run on your own GPU or use any LLM API. Zero vendor lock-in.

🔌

Plugin architecture

CloudWatch, Prometheus, Datadog. Slack, Teams, PagerDuty. vLLM, Ollama, OpenAI. Mix and match.

💰

$0 per investigation

Self-hosted LLM means unlimited investigations at zero marginal cost. ~$290/mo all-in for the GPU.

How Nika works

1

Alert fires from any source

CloudWatch, Prometheus, Datadog — Nika picks it up via SQS, webhook, or polling.

2

Priority routing decides depth

P1 gets full deep investigation. P3 gets quick triage. P4 is just logged. Alert storms are deduplicated.

3

Evidence gathered (read-only)

Reads logs, metrics, pod status, recent deployments. Zero write access — cannot break anything.

4

LLM reasons about root cause

Combines evidence + runbooks + memory of similar past incidents. PII is stripped before reaching the model.

5

RCA posted to Slack thread

Root cause + recommendation + confidence level. Tagged to the right team. Engineers react to confirm or correct.
