Odigos

Odigos is an Israeli early-stage startup developing an observability control plane. Founded by Ariel Mashraki and Eden Federman, the company operates out of Israel (under the corporate entity Keyval). It is a private entity that raised a Seed funding round in 2023 to commercialize its open-source offering. Public information on exact headcount and valuation is limited, but it operates as a small, engineering-focused team.

The company focuses on cloud-native observability, specifically distributed tracing. The Odigos platform uses eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) to automatically generate OpenTelemetry traces and metrics from applications running on Kubernetes without requiring developers to write manual instrumentation code. It targets DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and platform engineering teams. The technical moat relies on its low-level eBPF engineering capabilities and native integration with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.

The flagship offering is the open-source Odigos project, designed to be deployed on Kubernetes clusters. It automatically detects the programming languages of running applications (such as Go, Java, Python, and Node.js) and injects the appropriate instrumentation. The platform exports this data to standard observability backends like Datadog, Prometheus, Jaeger, or Grafana.

Odigos maintains its core R&D operations in Israel, led by the Israeli founding team. The company typically hires engineers with expertise in low-level systems programming, Go, Kubernetes, and eBPF. Given its early stage, the Israel office serves as the primary hub for product development. Detailed public information regarding specific office locations or exact local headcount is currently limited.
