About
Odigos was founded in 2023 with a clear and ambitious mission: to make distributed tracing accessible to every developer, regardless of their expertise in observability. Recognizing that traditional monitoring tools often require complex, manual instrumentation that can take months to implement and maintain, the founders set out to build a solution that automates this entire process. By leveraging the power of eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) and OpenTelemetry, Odigos created a platform that can instantly generate distributed traces for any application without requiring a single line of code change. What started as an open-source project has quickly evolved into an enterprise-grade observability control plane. Odigos empowers organizations to eliminate blind spots in their distributed systems by automatically detecting applications, instrumenting them with the appropriate collectors, and scaling those collectors based on traffic. Backed by Y Combinator and other prominent investors, the company continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in cloud-native observability, helping engineering teams across the globe fix production issues faster and gain deeper insights into their complex microservices architectures.
