Make your systems observable, and keep your data in Europe.
I'm Sitraka Forler, a systems architect in Luxembourg City. I help financial-sector and scale-up teams see what their infrastructure is really doing, fewer blind spots, quieter on-call, telemetry that never leaves the EU. Co-founder of LuxAIOps.
Three ways to work together

I map your stack end-to-end, find the blind spots and noisy alerts, and hand you a prioritized reliability roadmap you can act on, with or without me.

- Prioritized roadmap + quick wins
- Fixed scope, fixed price: no surprises
Fractional Observability Lead
