yeet (operating as Virt Inc.) builds a Linux runtime and observability platform that works at the kernel boundary. Using JavaScript and eBPF, the platform lets engineers describe what they want to observe and receive live data from their machines within minutes. It is aimed at developers building custom infrastructure tools for monitoring and controlling systems at the kernel level.
The platform supports a range of observability tasks, including GPU utilisation monitoring, memory leak detection in training jobs, stalled workload identification, container exploration, HTTP traffic analysis, process signal tracing, USB traffic monitoring and network traffic analysis. Reported system overhead is less than 1% CPU usage.
The company describes itself as a team of systems engineers and kernel experts, founded on the premise that "mystery outages" need not be treated as normal. Its tools are built for use during critical incident response as well as routine system monitoring. yeet is based in Chicago, USA, and serves verticals including developer infrastructure, machine-learning training and system monitoring.
