YC alum Odigos aims to help enterprises find errors and stamp out latency in their systems

Odigos helps enterprises monitor systems, using distributed tracing and eBPF for automated observability, backed by notable investors.

: Odigos helps enterprises find errors and reduce latency in complex cloud-native systems. Eden Federman and Ari Recht co-founded Odigos to simplify implementing distributed tracing. After joining Y Combinator in 2023, Odigos raised a $13 million round to develop its enterprise-grade OpenTelemetry solution. The company's tools automate monitoring without performance overheads, gaining support from investors like Lightstep’s Ben Sigelman and Honeycomb’s Christine Yen.

Odigos, founded by Eden Federman and Ari Recht, aims to assist enterprises in identifying errors and reducing latency in their complex cloud-native systems. The company leverages distributed tracing, particularly with OpenTelemetry, to provide advanced observability without extensive manual configuration. The founders' collaboration led them to join Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch and eventually secure significant funding from investors like Venture Guide and angel investors.

One of the critical technologies for Odigos is eBPF, which allows automated distributed tracing within the Linux operating system without performance overheads or code changes. This makes it particularly valuable for large enterprises with numerous applications. Odigos differentiates itself by offering a commercial solution that supports multiple environments, unlike its open-source version, making it accessible to less tech-savvy enterprises without altering their existing monitoring tools.

The startup's funding will boost development, marketing strategies, and the establishment of new headquarters in Boston. This brings the founders closer to potential clients and investors. Odigos has already completed a major POC with a large American company, indicating its strong market traction and potential for growth.
