KubeCon is back, and we’re excited to be a sponsor and headed to Atlanta, November 10–13, to showcase innovations in distillation and what’s next in practical AI for developers and SREs at Booth 1570.

Cloud-native teams need better tools that keep you in your flow with continuous analysis and explanations, in-context troubleshooting, and efficient distillation. Our mission is simple: bring clarity, speed, and intelligence back to monitoring and incident response.


What We’re Showcasing

Gonzo: Open Source, Real-time Log Analysis TUI

Our fast-growing, open-source terminal UI (TUI) gives engineers real-time log visibility right in their terminal.

It’s already trusted by thousands of developers and has already earned 2,000+ GitHub stars in its first two months.


Dstl8: Observability Distillation powered by Möbius Continuous AI

Dstl8 is an observability distillation solution that continuously analyzes logs across your full environment — distilling noisy, costly telemetry at the edge into clear, actionable insight. Dstl8 agents constantly identify incidents and explain anomalies in real-time.

The public preview of Dstl8 launches at KubeCon. We’ll be demonstrating these Dstl8 capabilities:

  • Continuous AI Analysis: Real-time, plain-English summaries of what changed, what broke, and why across your environment. No complex queries are required. Dstl8 continuously analyzes logs and distills only what you need.
  • Root Cause Explanations: Dstl8 reads logs like a senior SRE, using sentiment & severity, generates clear cause-and-effect explanations and impact, backed by evidence. It’s like an extra observability engineer for your team.
  • In-Context Troubleshooting: Dig deeper in context to issues and incidents. Pinpoint failures faster and reduce the effort to fix them. Surface patterns, trends, hot spots through dynamic heatmaps, timelines, and log details.
  • Monitor. Distill. Explain: Powered by Möbius, a continuous, multi-layer AI that distills, correlates, investigates in real-time. Distills all your logs at the edge, detects anomalies in real time, with always-on agents that investigate, summarize, act, and learn from every incident.

Mobius – Continuous, Multi-layer AI for Observability Distillation

Dstl8 is powered by Möbius, a multi-layer continuous AI platform that performs observability distillation at three layers:

  • Edge Distillation: Summarize noisy telemetry where it’s generated
  • Correlation Layer: Connect patterns across services and clusters
  • Incident Layer: Agents that explain what changed and why, in plain language

Möbius has been built on top of our original OTel control plane, extended by our own distribution of the OTel collector and customer processors, and designed for high performance distillation at the edge to specifically drive, prompt, and enable our agentic AI analyses.


Visit Us at Booth #1570 for Distillation Demos

We’ve got:

  • Hands-on demos of Gonzo and Dstl8
  • Gonzo T-shirts & stress balls
  • Talk directly to our developers and founders  

Whether you’re an SRE, platform engineer, or developer, you’ll leave with new tools, new ideas, and probably a Gonzo in your hand.

Why This KubeCon Matters

2025 is the year Continuous AI becomes an operational revelation. As AI-native workloads grow, so do the demands for real-time insight, explainability, and edge efficiency.

The future isn’t about collecting more data, it’s about building adaptive systems that distill just the data you need, learn, and explain. That’s where Dstl8 and Möbius fit in.
