Netdata Inc. is a San Francisco- and Athens-based software company that develops an open-source real-time infrastructure monitoring platform. Founded in 2014 by Costa Tsaousis - originally as a personal project to address a monitoring gap - the company has grown to a distributed team of 51 to 200 employees serving thousands of organisations worldwide.
The core product, Netdata, collects infrastructure metrics at one-second granularity, providing engineering teams with continuous, high-resolution visibility into their systems. It incorporates machine learning-based anomaly detection and AI-driven troubleshooting capabilities designed to accelerate root-cause analysis. The company claims the platform can reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 80%. Netdata positions itself as the #1 open-source monitoring platform on GitHub by stars.
The platform is relevant across infrastructure engineering, DevOps, site reliability engineering, and IT operations. Its technical domains span observability, per-second metrics collection, and systems monitoring - areas that sit at the intersection of performance engineering and operational intelligence.
Netdata operates as a distributed organisation with offices in San Francisco and Athens. Its mission centres on making infrastructure monitoring effortless, intelligent, and immediately actionable for engineering teams.
