Edge Delta

Edge Delta is a Seattle, Washington-based observability software company founded in 2018 by Ozan Unlu (CEO) and Fatih Yildiz (CTO). Its original approach processed telemetry data — logs, metrics, traces and events — at its source using distributed stream processing and federated machine learning, rather than centralizing, indexing and storing all raw data in the cloud. The company positioned this as "edge observability," intended to give DevOps, SRE and security teams visibility into complete datasets while reducing cloud spend and mean time to resolution.

The current platform combines Telemetry Pipelines, a ClickHouse-based observability backend for logs, metrics and traces, and a set of autonomous "AI Teammates." Four agents ship out of the box: an AI SRE that triages alerts, performs root cause analysis and recommends fixes; an AI Security Engineer that reviews pull requests for vulnerabilities and leaked secrets and monitors environments; an AI Software Engineer that reviews code, explores codebases and opens pull requests; and an AI Work Tracker that opens and updates tickets tied to alerts, security findings and incidents. Customers can also build custom teammates. The pipelines filter noise, mask sensitive data and normalize signals before data reaches a model, and the agents run on frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, with more than 50 connectors to tools including AWS, GitHub, CircleCI, LaunchDarkly, Databricks, Kubernetes, Slack and PagerDuty. The company describes itself as a "telemetry-native AI SRE," with observability as the underlying architecture. Product delivery includes self-service signup without a credit card, SSO and SAML, and documentation covering pipelines, sources, processors, destinations, connectors and workflows.

Founding story

Edge Delta was founded in 2018 by Ozan Unlu and Fatih Yildiz, who met while working at Microsoft and later diverged — Unlu to Sumo Logic as a senior solutions architect after being a development lead on Microsoft's Azure and Security teams, and Yildiz to Twitter as an engineer building large-scale distributed systems handling petabytes of data. Reconnecting around a shared view that collecting all data into the cloud for processing is incompatible with emerging workloads (they cited self-driving cars and cashier-less stores as applications needing processing close to the source), they concluded that constantly centralizing, indexing and storing all raw telemetry is inefficient for real-time operational needs and built a platform to process it at the edge instead.

Business model

Edge Delta sells an enterprise software platform to engineering organizations, combining telemetry pipelines, an observability backend and AI agents. The company offers self-service onboarding (no credit card required, deploy in minutes) with enterprise features such as SSO and SAML included, and has announced making telemetry pipeline data throughput limitless and free for all customers.

Commercial software platform sold to engineering organizations; the company has stated that Telemetry Pipelines data throughput is limitless and free for all customers, with paid value concentrated in the observability backend and AI Teammates.

Traction

Edge Delta reports $82 million raised in total and grew from six employees at its 2019 seed round, when it planned to hire 12 or more people over the following year. Its Agentic Team / AI Teammates product reached general availability, and the company cites production use by teams at companies including Remitly, Seattle Bank, PACCAR and Super League Gaming.

Latest developments

Edge Delta announced the general availability of its Agentic Team and launched Collaborative AI Teammates, described as a multi-agent platform for SRE, security and DevOps teams, alongside a change making Telemetry Pipelines data throughput limitless and free for all customers. The website now positions the company as a "telemetry-native AI SRE" with four prebuilt agents plus custom teammates.
