One Dashboard for All Your CI/CD Pipelines
Perspicax is the cross-platform observability solution that brings unified visibility, governance, and insights to your entire CI/CD ecosystem—no matter where you build.
Perspicax (Latin): clear-sighted, discerning, all-seeing
The Multi-Platform Pipeline Challenge
Modern development teams don’t run pipelines in just one place. Your organization likely has:
- GitHub Actions for cloud-native applications
- GitLab CI for internal tooling
- Azure DevOps for enterprise systems
- CircleCI for mobile development
- Jenkins for legacy infrastructure
Each platform has its own dashboard. Each requires separate monitoring. But getting a unified view of pipeline health, performance, and costs across all of them? That’s been nearly impossible—until now.
What is Perspicax?
Perspicax is a unified CI/CD observability platform that aggregates pipeline events, metrics, and insights from all major build systems into a single dashboard. Get comprehensive visibility and cross-platform governance without rebuilding your CI/CD infrastructure.

Why CI/CD Observability Matters
When pipelines are scattered across platforms, problems are invisible until they impact delivery:
- Failed deployments go unnoticed
- Agent capacity issues cause delays
- Performance degradation happens gradually
- Governance gaps create compliance risks
- Teams spend hours hunting across dashboards
Perspicax solves this by giving you one place to see everything, understand trends, and take action before problems escalate.
Key Problems Perspicax Solves
Visibility Gaps
“Is our deployment pipeline healthy right now?” Without Perspicax, you need to check 4+ dashboards. With Perspicax, you see everything instantly.
Inconsistent Governance
Different platforms, different policies, different enforcement. Perspicax lets you set organization-wide rules that apply everywhere.
Hidden Performance Issues
That pipeline that takes 45 minutes? It used to take 15. Perspicax shows you the trend and identifies the cause.
Agent Management Chaos
Self-hosted runners going down? Queues backing up? Perspicax monitors capacity and alerts you proactively.
Compliance Blind Spots
Audit logs scattered across platforms. Missing trails. Perspicax unifies everything with comprehensive audit capabilities.
