Middleware

Consolidates metrics, logs, traces, events and real user monitoring (RUM) into one unified timeline; Y Combinator describes it as an 'AI-based full stack observability platform.'

An AI SRE agent feature that detects, debugs and helps auto-fix production issues across the application stack, per Middleware's own site.

Founder Laduram Vishnoi describes the platform providing 'up to 45x data compression to reduce the cost of data storage.'

Customer case study: Corgi CEO Nico Laqua states Middleware reduced the time spent debugging and resolving issues by nearly 90%.

Backend engineers, platform teams and SREs at cloud-native and microservices companies needing infrastructure, APM and real-user-monitoring visibility.

Named customers on Middleware's case-studies page include Corgi, Bardeen.ai, hoichoi, Hotplate, Ceat, Wrangler and Trademarkia, among others.

Customers can sign up, ingest data and start monitoring without a sales contact via the free-trial tier before moving to pay-as-you-go.

Middleware publishes named customer testimonials, e.g. Bardeen.ai's Artem Harutyunyan: "We use Middleware.io for monitoring our cloud infrastructure. It is extremely easy to integrate and provides a comprehensive view of your cloud environment at a very affordable price."

Prospects can start directly via a free trial on middleware.io offering unlimited data ingestion with 14-day retention at no cost.

Middleware graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch, giving it access to YC's startup and investor network for distribution.
