Skip Redis — Postgres is fine under 50k.

Owner

Sara owns auth / sessions.

Decision write-up · ENG-214

Still attached

Built for engineering teams that move fast.

The problem

Engineering knowledge disappears faster than code.

Tribal knowledge

Critical decisions live inside Slack threads and people's heads.

Slow onboarding

New engineers spend weeks understanding architecture instead of building.

Constant interruptions

Senior engineers repeatedly answer the same questions.

Stale documentation

Documentation falls behind while the code keeps changing.

The solution

Meet Beacon.

Beacon continuously understands your engineering organization by connecting GitHub, Slack, and Linear.

Instead of searching across dozens of tools or asking teammates, engineers simply ask Beacon.
