Crash Override

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Crash Override is the first Engineering Relationship Management platform. It's the only build inspection technology that creates a single source of truth across code, infrastructure, tools, and teams from first commit to cloud deploy. It delivers visibility, traceability, and strategic control across the entire software development lifecycle.

  • Modern DevOps is fragmented. Teams are dealing with sprawl, blind spots, and tool overload. Crash Override cuts through the noise, bringing clarity, reducing risk, and helping teams focus on what matters. It delivers complete engineering visibility, reveals relationships, and restores control for DevOps teams working blind in fragmented environments.

    • Build Inspection: Capture every build, deployment, and change to give teams complete traceability, clear inspection paths, and audit-ready visibility.
    • Catalog: A live inventory connecting code, infrastructure, builds, and deployments
    • Change Ledger: An always-on record of every change, across every system
    • Campaigns: Structured initiatives to drive long-term improvements across your DevOps environment
  • Getting started is straightforward. Crash Override plugs directly into your cloud provider, source code management solution, and build pipelines.

  • Engineering Relationship Management (ERM) is an approach to software development that brings total visibility into your DevOps practice. It connects your code, tools, and people into a single, clear, actionable view. If your data is scattered, tools are siloed, or your team has lost track of how everything fits together, ERM puts you back in control. It shows you what you have, what matters, and what to do next.

    Crash Override powers ERM. It connects every DevOps dot into a single source of truth that shows what you have, how it is deployed, and how it is changing in real time.

  • Crash Override is an ERM platform that connects all the DevOps components – code, tools, infrastructure, builds, and deployments – into a single source of truth. It provides real-time, traceable context across your entire stack, enabling smarter decisions and strategic focus.

  • Crash Override’s ERM platform is designed for organizations with complex cloud computing environments seeking greater clarity and control over their DevOps and security processes. It is particularly beneficial for businesses where data is siloed, software is sourced from multiple origins, and DevOps/DevSecOps teams need a clearer understanding of their infrastructure, tooling, and overall risk.

  • Build inspection is the process of capturing, analyzing, and understanding what happens inside your builds. It provides visibility into every artifact, dependency, configuration, and change from first commit to deploy. It tracks what was built, how it was built, and who built it.

  • It tracks and inspects everything inside the build process. That includes the code, dependencies, environment variables, pipeline steps, tool usage, and metadata tied to who did what and when. It also tracks how artifacts move from build to deploy, so you can see exactly what’s running in production and how it got there.

  • Monitoring tells you when something breaks. Observability helps you guess why. Build inspection shows you exactly what changed, who made the change, and when. It’s focused on traceability and accountability, not just performance or uptime.


  • SBOMs and SCA tools focus on what’s in your code, mostly third-party components and known vulnerabilities. Build inspection goes further. It connects code, tools, builds, infrastructure, and people to show how things are built, what’s running in production, and where unapproved or shadow systems might exist. As a result of the tooling, we have insight into the components within the build, as well as the ability to generate SBOMs.

  • Visibility tells you what exists. Inspection helps you understand and take action. Build inspection captures and correlates data from deep inside the build process, giving teams real-time insight with context through a single source of truth.

  • Traditional tools focus on execution and automation. Our build inspection technology is about insight and accountability. Instead of just running builds, it gives you a verified record of what happened during them, across systems, teams, and environments.

  • Crash Override integrates directly with your source code management system, build pipelines, and cloud infrastructure, acting like an AirTag for code. It collects data at each stage and brings it together into a single source of truth that reflects the full software lifecycle. It also uses optional open-source tools for additional context.

  • You get detailed insights on build provenance, artifact lineage, changes between builds, who triggered them, what tools were used, where things were deployed, and whether they meet compliance standards. It also highlights shadow engineering risks, such as unapproved tools, rogue services, and mismatched configurations.

  • By providing code-to-cloud visibility, Crash Override helps teams understand how everything fits together, facilitating quicker fixes, targeted responses, and strategic operations. It promotes cleaner infrastructure that's easier to manage and audit.

  • Yes. Crash Override can help identify redundant or underutilized tools, simplify audits, and streamline time-intensive tasks. This transition from short-term fixes allows teams to focus on work that drives real value.

  • The platform helps establish a clear chain of accountability, linking team members directly to their work. This clarity simplifies communication, reduces confusion, and empowers developers and engineers to focus on meaningful work.
