Product Features & Capabilities
What is Sedai and what does it do?
Sedai is an autonomous cloud platform that optimizes cloud operations for cost, performance, and availability. It uses patented, safety-first autonomous optimization to manage production environments, reducing cloud costs by up to 53%, lowering latency by up to 75%, and minimizing engineering toil. Sedai is designed to make safe, gradual optimizations with continuous validation, never causing incidents or breaching SLOs. Learn more.
What makes Sedai different from other cloud optimization platforms?
Sedai is the only cloud optimization platform patented to make safe, autonomous optimizations in production without causing incidents or breaching SLOs. Unlike risky optimizers that make all-at-once changes, Sedai performs slow, incremental optimizations with continuous validation checks. It also offers application-aware intelligence, full-stack coverage, and proactive issue resolution. See solution briefs.
What are the key features of Sedai?
Sedai's key features include autonomous optimization, application-aware intelligence, proactive issue resolution, full-stack cloud coverage, safety-by-design, release intelligence, and plug-and-play implementation. These features enable up to 50% cost savings, 75% latency reduction, and 6X productivity gains. Learn more.
What integrations does Sedai support?
Sedai integrates with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Datadog, Cloudwatch, Azure Monitor), Kubernetes autoscalers (HPA/VPA, Karpenter), IaC and CI/CD tools (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Terraform), ITSM (ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Jira), notification systems, runbook automation, and serverless platforms (AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate). See all integrations.
What technical documentation is available for Sedai?
Sedai provides a Getting Started Guide, a Kubernetes Optimization Guide, and a Platform Overview. These resources help users onboard quickly and maximize the platform's value. Access them at docs.sedai.io/get-started and sedai.io/resources.
What security and compliance certifications does Sedai have?
Sedai is SOC 2 certified, demonstrating adherence to stringent security and compliance standards for data protection. For more details, visit the Security page.
How long does it take to implement Sedai?
