About Vigiles

Born from the trenches
of production engineering

Vigiles didn't start with a pitch deck. It started with real production challenges, stitched-together tooling, and incident reports written from memory. Built from Singapore for teams who refuse to compromise on reliability.

Where it started

Vigiles was founded by engineers who spent years building and scaling production systems across Asia-Pacific. After leading teams through countless outages and post-incident reviews, one pattern kept showing up: the tools teams relied on were never enough on their own.

The Problem

Challenges we kept running into

Every production team hits the same walls. These aren't edge cases. They're everyday realities.

01

When something broke, pinpointing the root cause was never straightforward. Logs in one tool, metrics in another, alerts in a third. Valuable minutes lost just trying to understand what happened.

02

Every monitoring tool did 70% of what we needed. None did 100%. So we ended up stitching together three or four tools just to cover one solution, with gaps in between.

03

Building proper incident reports was painful. After resolving an outage, teams still had to manually reconstruct timelines, gather evidence, and write postmortems from memory.

04

Monitoring setups were tribal knowledge. When the person who configured everything left the company, the team was back to square one, rebuilding from scratch.

05

Despite paying for multiple subscriptions, critical features were always missing. Custom alert rules, meaningful status pages, or proper APAC coverage were never included where we needed them.

06

Teams in Asia-Pacific were underserved. Most tools checked from US or EU regions and treated our markets as an afterthought, producing latency numbers that didn't reflect reality.

So we built the tool we always wanted

Vigiles was born directly from these challenges. Not from a brainstorm or a business plan, but from years of watching good engineering teams struggle with tools that weren't built for how they actually work.

The vision is simple: one platform that handles monitoring, alerting, status pages, and incident intelligence properly, so teams don't have to stitch together five services and hope nothing falls through the cracks.

We started building from Singapore because this is where we saw the biggest gap. APAC teams deserve monitoring that runs where their users are, with check locations across the region, not just a single node in Tokyo for coverage.

Every feature on our roadmap comes from a real problem experienced firsthand in production. And as more teams share their challenges with us, Vigiles keeps evolving to solve them.

Our Principles

What we stand for

Reliability First

A monitoring platform that goes down is worse than no monitoring at all. We obsess over our own uptime so you never question the data.

APAC Native

Not an afterthought. 8+ check locations across Asia-Pacific means your latency data reflects where your users actually are.

Honest Pricing

Domain-based pricing that makes sense. No per-seat gotchas, no hidden overage fees. A generous free tier that's actually useful.

Privacy Conscious

We don't sell your data, we don't run ad trackers, and we minimize what we collect. Your monitoring data belongs to you.

Built to Last

Production-grade infrastructure designed for reliability. No vendor lock-in. Architecture that scales with you, not against you.

Build in the Open

Public roadmap, honest feature status, and real timelines. We ship what we promise and we tell you what's coming next.
