Company
HyperDX
Open-source, dev-friendly observability.
We built HyperDX to help engineers fix production bugs faster. Our product collects logs, metrics, traces, and browser session replays into one place with simple workflows that connect alerts to resolutions. It's open source and designed to be set up in minutes. Under the hood, it uses Clickhouse and S3, giving teams a much more cost-effective alternative to traditional tools like Datadog.
We live and work in San Mateo, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.
We're located in San Mateo because it's central to a strong engineering community and gives us good access to potential users and partners in the Bay Area, where most of our early customers and network already are.
