On average, engineering teams have more than five tools that generate alerts.\n* Using proprietary vendor alerting/monitoring products locks you into the vendor, making it extremely challenging and time-consuming to migrate at a later stage.\n* Vendors today require you to send/integrate all your data, which is a big overhead when all you want to do is simple alerting.\n\n**🚨 Why Keep?**\n\n1. Simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax.\n2. Declarative alerting that easily be managed and versioned in your source control and service repository.\n3. Alerts from multiple data sources for added context and insights.\n4. Freedom from vendor lock-in, making it easier to switch to a different observability tool if and when needed.\n\n💻 **Demo**\n\nPlay with Keep using our [Platform](https://platform.keephq.dev/)\\\n\\\n**🙏 Asks**\n\nTry out Keep and share your feedback on how it can be improved.
