Cerbi: Governance Layer Keeps Structured Logs Clean

Developers have long wrestled with inconsistent log data that surfaces only after outages. Cerbi steps in as a logging governance layer that sits beside existing frameworks like Serilog or OpenTelemetry, asking whether logs capture the right details without leaking sensitive information and maintain compliance across distributed systems daily.

Unlike a new log platform, Cerbi offers compile‑time checks via Roslyn analyzers and non‑blocking runtime validation that tags violations instead of dropping logs. Its JSON‑based governance rules are versioned, deployable, and enforceable per‑tenant, letting teams keep control over data flow without altering their existing sinks in production environments.

Today’s core components—CerbiStream, Governance Analyzer, and CerbiShield—run entirely inside the customer’s tenant. CerbiStream delivers structured logs with backpressure handling and file fallback, while the Analyzer enforces schema rules in IDEs and CI pipelines. The Shield dashboard provides RBAC, audit logs, and versioned profiles for continuous monitoring and compliance.

With core runtime and analyzers already stable, the team is preparing a marketplace launch and plans multi‑language plugins for Node, Python, Java, and Go. The licensed CerbiShield layer will monetize governance control, while the free stream and analyzers invite early adopters to test compliance without stack rewrites today.
