Company · Since 2023
We believe observability should just work.
Founded in Stuttgart by engineers who were tired of incumbent tools that cost a fortune, moved slowly, and were 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." Predictable costs. Full access. Always.
30× cheaper than Datadog with zero lock-in
What we believe
Six principles that guide every decision we make.
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 — ever.
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.
Security as a feature
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and TÜV-certified from day one. Security is not an afterthought — it's in the architecture.
Customer obsession
Every Enterprise customer gets a dedicated CSM. We answer support tickets ourselves. We care about your on-call rotation.
