About Us:
Observe is an AI-powered observability platform engineered for scale. Built on an open, scalable data lake, Observe ingests and stores telemetry at dramatically lower cost while allowing reuse through open data formats like Apache Iceberg. Its Knowledge Graph tracks relationships between objects in the system—and how they change over time—providing essential context for investigations. Pairing agentic workflows with context from the Knowledge Graph, Observe’s chat-based AI SRE accelerates root cause analysis and resolution.
Engineering teams at Capital One, Topgolf, and Dialpad ingest hundreds of terabytes daily and troubleshoot 3x faster at 60% lower cost, depending on Observe to maintain reliability at scale.
