Stanza's mission is to make industry-leading reliability accessible to every software organization. With modern software development advancements, small teams can now quickly and easily build large, complex software systems. What hasn’t kept pace are the means to maintain the health and integrity of these systems without scaling the teams, deep specialists, and development cycles focused on reactive tasks. Stanza’s vision is to build a next generation platform that powers developer velocity through the application of reliability engineering at scale.
