What Invaria does

Invaria automates logging from code to storage. We make it possible to automatically add actionable, structured event logs across your entire codebase. OTel is automated instrumentation for the ideal world, Invaria is for everyone else. Invaria was founded by three engineers who know what good looks like when it comes to observability, but also know it's takes a lot of dev effort to do manually.

Next generation logging and observability platform

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Invaria to automate logging end-to-end - from your code through to storage. Instead of manually instrumenting your applications to generate structured, actionable event logs, Invaria automatically adds those logs across your entire codebase. People want something easier than OpenTelemetry, which assumes an ideal world; we build for everyone else.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, and after YC we would base the company here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our whole team is in London. We want to keep the company where the founders live and work day-to-day. Being local means faster decisions and smoother collaboration.
