Full-stack cloud observability without sampling or code changes
groundcover operates a BYOC observability platform built on eBPF, competing directly against Datadog, Dynatrace, and Grafana by targeting cost and data completeness. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward sales (11 roles) and marketing (8) versus engineering (4), paired with active projects around go-to-market strategy and new logo acquisition — a classic sales-led scaling posture for a 3-year-old infrastructure vendor.
groundcover delivers full-stack observability for cloud-native infrastructure and applications, running on eBPF and deployable without code changes or sampling. The BYOC model keeps telemetry data inside customer cloud accounts (AWS, GCP, Azure) rather than sending it to a vendor platform. Founded in 2021 and based in Tel Aviv with 51–200 employees, the company sells to mid-market and enterprise engineering teams managing Kubernetes and distributed systems. Current focus is on expanding sales coverage into new accounts and building pipeline generation capacity.
groundcover actively replaces Datadog, Dynatrace, and Grafana. The platform competes on cost and data granularity by using eBPF to capture unsampled telemetry and storing it in customer-owned cloud infrastructure.
groundcover uses eBPF as its core observability engine, with Go and Python for services. The platform integrates with AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and stores data in ClickHouse and VictoriaMetrics.
