Measure less, learn more: Open-source documentation observability from Axiom
Most analytics tools tell you how docs pages are consumed. They rarely tell you whether they're effective. Do11y is our open-source attempt to close that gap by treating documentation as instrumented software.

The humble placeholder: A small documentation problem worth fixing
Axiom is simple to get started with. But there is one small, reliable stumbling point for new users: placeholder replacement in code examples. We built a small tool to fix it.

The Sortable interface: Teaching every column type to sort itself
Replacing a one-size-fits-all sort with column-aware algorithms delivered speedups ranging from 2x to 26x, without changing a single query.

From cost center to strategic asset: How Monks transformed observability with Axiom
Global digital services company Monks cut observability costs by 40%, eliminated security blind spots, and unlocked AI readiness, guided by strategic technology advisor Three Tree Tech.

Catch what tests miss: Online evaluations for AI capabilities
Score your AI capability's outputs on live production traffic. Run reference-free scorers as fire-and-forget, control cost with per-scorer sampling, and trace every score back to the request that produced it.

Teaching AI to speak Splunk, then proving it works
We built open-source agent skills for Splunk-to-Axiom migration. Then we built evals to measure them, so every change is tested before it ships.
