Company
We believe observability
should just work.
Founded in Stuttgart in 2023 by engineers tired of incumbent tools that were too slow, too expensive, and built for vendors — not for the people actually running production systems.

Mission
Make production visibility accessible to every engineering team.
The tools that exist today either cost a fortune or require a dedicated platform team to operate. An eight-person startup should have the same visibility as a team of 500.
obseria.io ingests OpenTelemetry natively and charges per data point ingested — not per seat, not per series, not per "feature unlock."
What we believe
Engineers first
We build for the people who carry the pager. Every feature ships only when a Staff Engineer would actually use it in production.
Radical transparency
Real numbers on our status page. No hidden fees in pricing. No artificial urgency from sales.
Ruthless focus
We do observability. Not project management, not ticketing, not chat. Deep expertise beats wide mediocrity.
Open by default
We build on OpenTelemetry, contribute upstream, and publish everything we learn — no paywalls.
