groundcover, founded in 2021 by Shahar Azulay and Yechezkel Rabinovich, builds an eBPF-based observability platform designed to address the data, cost, and control limitations of legacy monitoring tools. Its platform delivers full-stack observability across infrastructure, applications, and LLMs without requiring code changes or instrumentation overhead.
The company's core architectural distinction is its BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) model: the platform deploys directly into a customer's Virtual Private Cloud, keeping all telemetry data within the customer's own environment. This gives organisations complete data ownership and residency control, billing against their existing cloud credits rather than paying per-gigabyte to a third-party vendor.
Built on eBPF technology from the ground up, the platform collects unsampled telemetry across the full stack. This approach is aimed particularly at enterprises in regulated or AI-driven environments where data routing, cost predictability, and operational control are primary concerns. The platform requires zero code changes to deploy and is designed to carry zero maintenance overhead.
groundcover's technical stack spans eBPF, cloud infrastructure, application monitoring, LLM observability, and data residency - making it a relevant environment for engineers working at the intersection of low-level systems programming, distributed infrastructure, and modern cloud operations.
