Summary

About Hud. Hud is a software platform that analyzes production runtime behavior, and combines it with Git data to provide insights to your engineers and other employees attempting to build better and higher quality code, aiming to: detect production issues early and point at the code segments that are likely to cause them, and to provide overall health and cost visibility to the production environment. Naturally, in order for your employees to identify and log into our services and see insights about the your code, we will need to know certain data about your employees such as their emails and Git handles. Most of the data collected by Hud is metric, event-based and signature-based, i.e. different levels of granularity of metadata. However, you may configure different levels of verbosity, for example by asking to receive raw parametric data from function invocations. In those cases, if you choose to use such high verbosity configurations, you must make sure not to send parameters that include PII to us. If you believe you accidentally sent us PII, please contact us at: privacy@hud.io.
