About NetdataWe’re a global team of 30 people committed to eliminating complexity in observability. Founded by Costa Tsaousis on the principle that monitoring should work for operators - not the other way around - we invest engineering effort to simplify operations, not to manage data pipelines.
Our mission is to reveal and surface the pulse and breath of systems and applications, making infrastructure health visible and actionable without requiring deep expertise.
Per-second visibility into infrastructure health - see problems as they happen, not after they cascade.
From installation to complete observability in 60 seconds - zero configuration, automatic dashboards, ML-powered insights.
Your infrastructure, your data, your control - all observability data stays on-premises under your management.
Predictable per-node pricing with unlimited metrics, logs, and users - 90% cost reduction versus traditional platforms.
Open-source foundation with 76,000+ GitHub stars - built by the community that uses it.
Machine learning and AI embedded from data collection through troubleshooting - democratizing expertise for every engineer.

Our engineering excellence is validated by peer-reviewed research and real-world deployments at scale.
Enterprise security and compliance validated by independent auditors - meeting the highest standards for data protection and operational controls.
University of Amsterdam peer-reviewed study (ICSOC 2023) confirmed Netdata as the most energy-efficient monitoring solution with lowest CPU and memory overhead.
Netdata benchmark at 4.6M metrics/second: 36% less CPU, 88% less RAM, 97% less disk I/O than Prometheus while providing 15× longer retention.
76,000+ GitHub stars make Netdata the most loved observability platform in the CNCF landscape - trusted by engineers worldwide for production monitoring.
Processing 4.5+ billion metrics per second across global infrastructure - from single nodes to 100,000+ system deployments validating distributed architecture.
OpenTelemetry support, open-source foundation, and transparent development ensure no vendor lock-in while delivering enterprise capabilities.

Traditional monitoring creates problems we’re solving through engineering innovation and architectural rethinking.
Centralized monitoring creates bottlenecks
Traditional platforms centralize all data, creating exponential scaling costs and performance degradation
Distributed edge architecture
We distribute the code instead of centralizing the data - linear scaling without bottlenecks
Sampling hides critical problems
Traditional 30-second monitoring misses 90% of incidents that last 2-10 seconds
True real-time visibility
Per-second data collection with sub-2-second total latency reveals problems as they happen
Configuration complexity delays value
Traditional tools require weeks of setup, manual dashboard building, and specialized skills
Zero configuration deployment
From installation to complete observability in 60 seconds - automatic discovery and ML-powered insights
Volume-based pricing creates anxiety
Organizations forced to choose between collecting everything (expensive) or sampling data (blind spots)
Predictable per-node pricing
Unlimited metrics, logs, and users - 90% cost reduction with transparent economics
