Your stack scaled. Your observability didn't.

Your stack scaled. Your observability didn't.

The industry just caught up to what you've been dealing with.

Gartner is now saying what you've known for a while which is that AI complexity has outgrown traditional monitoring. You're not late to this problem. You've been living it.

Built for exactly this moment.

groundcover architecture isn’t retrofitted. It’s not patched together. Its BYOC-first design enables you to monitor everything you run in the cloud without compromising on data, control or cost. We’re purpose-built for the AI era, and deployed in your cloud.

See what's coming — and get ahead of it.

This Gartner report maps out where observability is heading through 2029. Grab it, share it with your CTO, or VP of Eng, and walk into that next planning conversation with the full picture.

Trusted by teams who demand more

Real teams, real workloads, real results with groundcover.

“We cut our costs in half and now have full coverage in prod, dev, and testing environments where we previously had to limit it due to cost concerns.”

Sushant Gulati

Sr Engineering Mgr, BigBasket

“Observability used to be scattered and unreliable. With groundcover, we finally have one consolidated, no-touch solution we can rely on.“

ShemTov Fisher

DevOps team lead
Solidus Labs

“We went from limited visibility to a full-cluster view in no time. groundcover’s eBPF tracing gave us deep Kubernetes insights with zero months spent on instrumentation.”

Kristian Lee

Global DevOps Lead, Tracr

“The POC took only a day and suddenly we had trace-level insight. groundcover was the snappiest, easiest observability platform we’ve touched.”

Adam Ceresia

Software Engineering Mgr, Posh

“All vendors charge on data ingest, some even on users, which doesn’t fit a growing company. One of the first things that we liked about groundcover is the fact that pricing is based on nodes, not data volumes, not number of users. That seemed like a perfect fit for our rapid growth”

Elihai Blomberg,

DevOps Team Lead, Riskified

“We got a bill from Datadog that was more then double the cost of the entire EC2 instance”

Said Sinai Rijcov,

DevOps Engineer at EX.CO.

“We ditched Datadog’s integration overhead and embraced groundcover’s eBPF approach. Now we get full-stack Kubernetes visibility, auto-enriched logs, and reliable alerts across clusters with zero code changes.”

Eli Yaacov

Prod Eng Team Lead, Similarweb
