About us

Two platform engineers who kept finding problems too late

We spent years at DeepL building the platforms and workflows for more than 300 engineers. Now we build the tool we wanted back then.

Why we started Heplon

Summary: Engineering organizations find many of their problems only after the damage is done.
Impact: Outages, security incidents, and surprise bills that could have been prevented.
Root cause: Some problems no tool and no person notices. Others a scanner flags, but the warning is buried among hundreds of others that all look equally urgent.
