Stop fighting fires. Start building.
Sherpa shows your engineers performance, security, inventory and cost across your AWS accounts in one place, with fix plans and AWS CLI commands for what it finds.
After you sign up, a member of the Sherpa team contacts you within one business day to discuss your AWS environment and the right way to start.

One place for the four jobs your team juggles.
Why is our team always firefighting on AWS?
200+
AWS services, each with its own console and settings.

69%
of companies run six or more tools just to watch their systems.

Each tool sees one slice, so your engineers stitch the picture together by hand during every incident.
Does Sherpa give us the commands?
- Fix plans come with steps, AWS CLI commands, and CloudFormation or Terraform.
- Terraform is used when a resource's tags show it is managed with Terraform.
- For slow or failing services, the plan starts with finding the cause.
Sherpa never applies a fix; your team does.
aws ec2 revoke-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-0a1b2c3d --protocol tcp --port 22 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
How much work is it to set up?
Give your engineers their time back.

Questions engineering leaders ask us.
Does Sherpa replace CloudWatch or our APM tool?
No. Sherpa reads your CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry data and shows it next to cost, security and inventory. It works alongside the tools you already have.
Does Sherpa send alerts?
Not today. Your team opens Sherpa, or asks it a question, when a service, a cost trend or a security finding needs attention.
Does Sherpa change anything in our AWS account?
Only what's needed to connect. You connect your AWS accounts once, with our team, so Sherpa can read your data. After that, Sherpa never applies a fix; your team does. Your engineers review each plan and apply it on their own schedule.
How do we connect Sherpa?
On your onboarding call, your team deploys one CloudFormation template in your AWS management account with ours. It takes about ten minutes.
Can it work with Terraform?
For fix plans, yes. They use Terraform when a resource's tags show it's managed with Terraform, and CloudFormation otherwise.
