CtrlStack, a San Francisco, CA-based DevOps observability platform leveraging a causal graph, launched from stealth with $5.2m in seed funding.
The round was co-led by Sequoia Capital and Engineering Capital, with participation from Kearny Jackson, Webb Investment Network, and Lightspeed.
Led by CEO and Founder Dev Nag, CtrlStack provides change intelligence for DevOps to prevent downtime and identify changes before they impact customers. The platform unifies disconnected data, teams, and tools to connect cause to effect in DevOps. By leveraging those connections, CtrlStack enables automated troubleshooting and serves as the system of record for change management.
Key product features include:
- Event Timeline — allows teams to browse and filter change events without needing to hunt through log files or ask for user input to figure out who made a change.
- Knowledge Graph — a dependency tree that allows teams to discover relationships and connections between operational data (metrics, events, logs, traces, entities, changes).
- Change Impact Dashboard —1-click commit impact dashboard which displays a filtered event timeline, commit information and diff, impacted topology/dependency tree, and impacted metrics.
- Root Cause Analysis Dashboard — 1-click RCA dashboard which displays a filtered event timeline, impacted topology/dependency tree, impacted metrics, and image and commit details.
Nag was previously founder and CTO of Wavefront, a leading observability company which was acquired by VMware. He holds more than a dozen patents in machine learning, observability, and security. Now, Dev and the team at CtrlStack are creating a unified experience for handling the challenges of troubleshooting complex, distributed systems.
CtrlStack is available to customers through its beta program.
