Why Forge

Built for bare metal

We spent a decade running servers across 60+ global locations. Every alert rule comes from a real failure we have seen. Not theoretical thresholds: real production breakdowns.

Open source at the core

Crucible is MIT licensed. You can read every line of code that runs on your server. Forge adds the dashboard, history, and managed alerting on top.

Five minutes to first alert

Sign up, register a server, run one command. No YAML templates, no plugin configuration, no dashboard building. 26 alerts are active immediately.

Your data stays yours

Hosted on dedicated bare metal in Amsterdam. AI analysis runs on our own GPU, not third-party APIs. No tracking, no analytics cookies, no data sharing.
