ScaleOps

ScaleOps was founded in 2022 by Yodar Shafrir (CEO) and Guy Tish (CTO). The privately held company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, where its primary R&D operates, alongside business operations in the United States. ScaleOps develops a platform that dynamically automates Kubernetes resource allocation during runtime. In 2024, the company announced a $58M Series B funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, bringing its total capital raised to approximately $80M.

The core product is a continuous resource management platform designed strictly for Kubernetes environments. It solves the challenge of manual container sizing, where developers typically over-provision CPU and memory (causing wasted cloud spend) or under-provision them (leading to Out-Of-Memory errors and CPU throttling). ScaleOps connects to existing clusters and automatically adjusts pod requests and limits in real-time based on actual usage patterns. The platform is utilized primarily by platform engineering, DevOps, and FinOps teams to reduce cloud infrastructure costs across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

ScaleOps operates in the cloud FinOps and Kubernetes automation sector. It competes directly with Kubernetes-focused optimization platforms like CAST AI, as well as broader cloud cost solutions and spot-instance managers like Spot by NetApp. Unlike visibility tools that merely provide right-sizing recommendations (such as Kubecost), ScaleOps differentiates its offering by actively applying configuration changes to live production environments without requiring manual developer intervention or code redeployments.

The company's R&D center is located in Tel Aviv. ScaleOps hires locally for backend engineering (frequently utilizing Go, the standard language for Kubernetes extensions), DevOps, and product management roles. The Israeli ecosystem has been heavily involved in the company's trajectory, with early funding rounds led by local venture capital firms including Glilot Capital Partners and the Israeli arm of NFX.
