What Middleware does
Middleware is a full-stack cloud observability platform. We allow the dev and ops teams to debug the issue faster by bringing all the metrics, logs, traces, and events to a single unified timeline and train data to AI so it can give better insight into infrastructure and application. - Single command installation to collect all the metrics, logs, traces, and events. - AI-based anomaly and error detection - GPT 4-based error resolution - Support Infrastructure monitoring, Logs, APM, Kubernetes Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, RUM, Custom dashboard, and Alerts. - Full-stack observability, observe any stack at any scale. We are at Middleware and wanted to make cloud observability faster, cheaper, and better.

Company
Middleware
AI-based full stack observability platform
We built Middleware to unify all cloud observability data - metrics, logs, traces, and events - into a single timeline. Our platform uses AI for anomaly detection and GPT-4 for suggesting error resolutions, helping dev and ops teams debug faster and understand their infrastructure better at scale. It supports Kubernetes monitoring, synthetic checks, real user monitoring, and provides customizable dashboards and alerts.
We're based in San Francisco, CA and will continue to be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we have access to top engineering talent and proximity to many potential customers in B2B infrastructure SaaS. Staying here keeps us close to the ecosystem Middleware operates in.
