Use case

Post-deployment monitoring without reconstructing the story by hand

Post-deployment monitoring checks what changed after software reached production. ShipTale begins with a successful Vercel release, orders related Sentry and supported Stripe events by occurrence, and records how confidently each event is associated. The result is one investigation starting point without replacing the detailed provider dashboards.

Chronological post-deployment monitoring timeline in ShipTale
Provider context stays traceable to its source and qualified by the available evidence.

What should you check after a production deployment?

Confirm the production release, look for issue changes or regressions, then inspect customer and payment signals that occurred afterward. ShipTale keeps that sequence together and links each event back to its original provider.

Why is sequence different from causation?

An event happening after a release can justify investigation, but timing alone cannot prove the release caused it. ShipTale labels exact, mapped, and time-based associations so the strength of the evidence stays visible.

Frequently asked questions

Is ShipTale an uptime monitor?
No. ShipTale is a post-deployment timeline and correlation layer. It does not replace uptime checks, logs, or provider-native alerting.
How soon does new provider data appear?
The MVP reconciliation schedule runs every 15 minutes, so ShipTale does not claim real-time monitoring.
