Reliability memory

Your incident knowledge shouldn't quit when your senior engineer does.

Stop Mortem surfaces the most similar past incident and its fix the moment a new one opens — so on-call isn't starting from zero at 2am.

The problem

"Have we seen this before?" The answer is rotting in three people's heads.

01

Knowledge concentrates

The real "how we actually fixed it" lives with two or three senior engineers. It was never written anywhere searchable — and when they leave, it leaves with them.

02

On-call starts from zero

A new IC gets paged for something the team already solved a year ago. They re-debug it live, from scratch, while the clock and the error budget run down.

03

The same class re-solved

Pool exhaustion. Cache stampede. A bad migration at peak. The same shapes recur — and each time, someone pays the full cost of figuring it out again.

How it works

Three steps. No new process to babysit.

It runs on the incident write-ups your team already produces. Nothing new to maintain, no wiki to keep alive by hand.

01

Capture

At resolution, it structures the incident: symptom, root cause, the actual fix, and the systems involved — turning a write-up into a record you can match against.

02

Remember

Every resolved incident joins a searchable memory of what actually broke and how it was fixed — not a wiki that goes stale, a record that compounds over time.

03

Surface

When a new incident opens, it shows the most similar past one and its fix — ranked by similarity, right where on-call is already working. No one has to remember to look.

The risk you own

How much of your incident knowledge walks out if your top on-call engineer leaves tomorrow?

Bus factor isn't an abstract risk — it's a number you're accountable for. Stop Mortem turns institutional memory into something that survives turnover, onboarding, and reorgs. The fix from two years ago is still there at 2am, whether or not the person who wrote it is.

With a reliability memory layer, every one of those fixes stays searchable — long after the resolver is gone.
Privacy-first

Your data never leaves your environment.

Stop Mortem is local-first. There's no central data lake, no shipping your incident history to our cloud, no training on your outages. It runs where your incidents already live.

  • Runs in your environment

    Deploys inside your VPC, on your infrastructure. Your incident data stays on your side of the boundary.

  • No central store

    We never see your incident data. Nothing is replicated to a shared database we operate.

  • Read-only by default

    It learns from the write-ups you already produce and changes nothing in your source systems.

Early design partners

We're building this with a small set of reliability teams.

Early access is intentionally narrow. We're working hands-on with teams that have real incident history and a reliability owner who feels the bus-factor risk.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How is this different from incident.io or PagerDuty?
Those tools help you run the incident while it's happening — paging, coordination, the live timeline. Stop Mortem is about what happens after: it remembers how each incident was actually resolved and brings that back the next time something similar breaks. It sits alongside whatever you already use to manage incidents, not in front of it.
Where does my data live?
In your environment, always. There's no central data lake and your incident history is never shipped to our cloud. It's stored and queried in place, and it's read-only by default.
What do you need to get started?
Read access to your past incident write-ups — postmortems, resolved tickets, retro docs. That's enough to start building memory. There's no new process for your team to adopt and nothing to migrate.
Is this another thing to maintain?
No. It learns from the incidents you already write up. There's no separate knowledge base to keep current — the memory compounds automatically every time you resolve and document an incident.
Does it work with our existing stack?
It connects to where your incidents already live — your ticketing, your docs, your incident tool — and stays read-only by default. You point it at your existing write-ups; you don't change how your team works.
