At Akita, we're making observability accessible to "99% developers."
A big part of the "one-click" observability dream is making it easy for developers to use our product. After all, easy installation only matters if the product is easy to use, too! Towards this, we're looking for engineers to help us build out APIs and integrations, towards empowering developers to understand their systems.
What is Akita?
Today, understanding system behavior is hard. Developers have to instrument their systems; they have to understand logs, metrics, and traces. At Akita, we're building a new kind of observability solution that does not require an internal expert to install and operate. Our solution has two main parts: an eBPF-based approach for automatically watching API traffic and automatic inference over the API traffic
Akita was founded by Jean Yang, previously a CMU professor with over ten years of experience in programming systems research and over two years of experience with Taylor Swift memes on Twitter. Akita is backed by two of the top VC firms, as well as a major NBA player and some other incredible angel investors. 🏀😇
