Choosing an Interface

Neubird has three interfaces that connect to the same investigation engine. Each is designed for a different workflow. You can use one or all of them — they complement each other.

Neubird Platform

The web-based interface for teams managing production operations.

Best for: Team collaboration, connection management, automated investigation sessions, reviewing investigation history.

Key capabilities:

Manage connections to 30+ cloud providers, monitoring tools, and incident management platforms
Create projects to organize services and resources
Run interactive investigation sessions in the browser
Set up automated investigation sessions triggered by PagerDuty, Datadog, or AWS alerts
Define investigation instructions and runbooks
Review session history and share findings with your team

Start here if: You’re setting up Neubird for your team, managing connections, or need a shared investigation environment.
