Know Before You Deploy.
Recover Before It Hurts.
Strake tells you whether it's safe to push right now — based on system health, error budget burn, open incidents, and deploy velocity. When things break anyway, your runbooks are connected to alerts, your team knows what to do, and the knowledge doesn't live only in whoever has been here longest.
Teams are running more infrastructure with fewer SREs than at any point in the last decade. The tools haven't kept up.
Error budget at 18% remaining with SLO window closing in 72 hours. 2 active incidents on service dependencies. 3 deploys in the last 2 hours. Risk of cascading failure is elevated.
Your team shouldn't need a dedicated SRE
to run production reliably.
But without the right infrastructure, every incident becomes a fire drill.
When the engineer who "just knows" is on vacation, incidents that should take 20 minutes take 3 hours. Knowledge concentrated in one person isn't expertise — it's a single point of failure.
Your runbooks are in Confluence. Your engineers are in the terminal. Nobody opens Confluence at 3am. The best runbook is the one that shows up automatically when an incident opens — not the one you have to search for.
Your team spends the first 30 minutes of every incident figuring out if a recent deploy caused it. That context should be automatic. It isn't — unless you build the connection between your deploy history and your incident workflow.
What Strake reads
before you push.
Every deploy decision is based on five live signals pulled from your existing stack. No new agents. No new dashboards. Strake reads what's already there and tells you what it means right now.
How much error budget is left in the current window, and how fast it's burning. Strake flags when a deploy risks exhausting the rest of it before the window closes.
Open incidents across the service and its direct dependencies. Deploying into an active incident almost always makes things worse and root cause harder to find.
How many deploys have gone out in the last few hours. High velocity makes root cause isolation nearly impossible when something breaks.
Current health of the target service and its dependency graph — latency, error rates, resource saturation. The baseline you're deploying into matters.
Diffs lockfiles between builds. Flags new packages, major version bumps, and suspicious publish timing.
Your CI pulls
what it's told.
Strake asks
what changed.
Supply chain attacks exploit the gap between a malicious publish and your next CI build. That window is measured in minutes — not days. CVE databases lag behind by design: a vulnerability has to be discovered, reported, catalogued, and published before your scanner knows it exists.
Strake diffs your lockfiles between the last known-good deploy and the current one. Every new package, every version bump, every maintainer change — flagged before it reaches production. No CVE required.
The axios npm compromise was live for 3 hours before it was pulled. The LiteLLM attack affected 500,000 machines in 40 minutes. Traditional scanners check CVE databases — Strake checks what actually changed.
Detects changes in package-lock.json, yarn.lock, go.sum, and requirements.txt between your last known-good deploy and this one. Every change is accounted for.
Flags dependencies published within hours of your build. The attack window most scanners miss entirely — before a CVE exists, before anyone has noticed.
Doesn't wait for a vulnerability to be reported. Catches supply chain compromises at deploy time — not days later when the CVE database catches up.
The Notion page
from 2021 is not
a runbook.
Strake connects runbooks directly to the alerts that trigger them. When PagerDuty fires, the right runbook opens — not a search bar, not a Notion space, not a Slack message asking who knows what to do.
Steps are tracked. What the engineer found, what they decided. Every time the runbook runs, the record gets richer. The next engineer who gets paged starts from that, not from zero.
The Nov 22 incident took 94 minutes. The last three averaged 27 minutes. That's the runbook getting smarter — and it's the clearest signal of what Strake actually does.

The runbook for our database failover lived in a Confluence page that hadn't been opened in 14 months. Found that out at 3am on a Sunday.
Senior SRE · Series B fintechWe had a deploy gate. It was a Slack message: "anyone know if it's okay to push right now?" Someone always said yes. Then we'd find out.
Staff Engineer · Infrastructure teamThe tribal knowledge problem is real. Three incidents in the last year that came down to one person not knowing what another person knew.

Strake is in private beta. We're working directly with early teams to shape the product. No credit card. No commitment. Just a conversation about deploy safety.
Built for the engineer
who gets the page.
Strake is in private beta with a small cohort of senior engineers and SRE leads. If you're on-call and your MTTR isn't where it needs to be, we want to talk.
A real conversation with the team.
