PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW

Why Sawmills?

Observability costs keep climbing. Sawmills finds exactly what's driving them and fixes it without touching your existing stack.

60–90% cost reduction

Sawmills continuously analyzes telemetry across your pipeline, flagging issues and recommending solutions that can be applied with a single click or in existing developer workflows.

Self-Serve with Guardrails

When telemetry gets noisy, expensive, or misconfigured, Sawmills alerts the responsible developer in Slack or Teams with a diagnosis and a recommended fix. Developers can apply Mills AI insights instantly. No tickets, no chasing, no surprises.

Zero Rip-and-Replace

Sawmills deploys as an agentic layer upstream of your existing observability stack, whether using Datadog, Splunk, LGTM, or any OTel-compatible destination. Cut costs without the pain of changing observability platforms.

KEY SOLUTIONS

How Sawmills works with Finout

From code through CI to production — a closed loop that gets smarter with every deployment.

At Runtime

Production optimization

Sawmills continuously monitors telemetry at runtime - sampling, aggregating, filtering, routing, and dropping low-value data automatically - then feeds those learnings back into instrumentation.

In Dev & CI

Instrumentation & CI enforcement

Sawmills embeds into your development workflow, guiding developers toward high-quality telemetry at the code level and validating every deployment in CI.

Across Deployments

Always-on agent that continuously learns

Sawmills is a self-improving agent that maintains a shared knowledge base from code through CI to production, creating a closed loop across every stage that gets smarter with every deployment.
