Introducing APX's Linear Integration: Production Datadog + Postgres Issues to Linear

For engineering teams that live in Linear, context is everything. Manually filing tickets from Datadog dashboards or Postgres queries is a drag.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the APX integration with Linear. It gives you a direct bridge between production issues in systems like Datadog and Postgres and the ticketing system. No more manual searches and write-ups. No more copy-paste chaos. Just production intelligence turned into clean, actionable tasks when you need them.

Meet Your 24/7 AI Production Engineer

APX acts like a staff engineer who never sleeps. It continuously monitors your production systems across Datadog, Sentry, Postgres, MySQL, and Slack to surface critical issues including:

  • Performance degradation like slow endpoints and N+1 queries
  • Reliability risks like error spikes and alerts
  • Infrastructure cost issues like excessive logs and idle hosts
  • Database inefficiencies like bloat, missing indexes, or unbounded growth

It doesn't just detect problems. It recommends fixes, suggested remediations, and paste-ready code you can use immediately.

How the Linear Integration Works

When APX flags an issue, you can click “Create Linear Issue” directly from within the APX dashboard. That ticket will be enriched with:

  • Root cause insights and system impact
  • Suggested fixes and cost-saving actions
  • A “Made for LLM” snippet you can drop into your IDE or coding assistant

This lets your team move from detection to triage to resolution without losing time or context.

Built for Your Existing Stack

APX integrates seamlessly with the tools already powering your workflow:

  • Datadog and Sentry for logs, metrics, errors and traces
  • Postgres and MySQL for database health
  • Slack for real-time alerts and summaries
  • Github for source code
  • Linear for issue tracking and resolution

Everything works together, without glue code or manual syncing.

Why This Matters

Monitoring tools flood you with noise. Ticketing tools often lack context. APX closes the loop by:

  • Continuously scanning for high-impact issues
  • Surfacing rich, actionable recommendations
  • Making it easy to track fixes where your team already works

You get less overhead, fewer dropped threads, and more time to build.

Try It Out

If Linear is your engineering HQ, this integration will feel like a force multiplier.
