We founded Outlyer (then Dataloop.IO) in October 2013 because there was no easy way to setup and deploy monitoring for specific microservices or at the team level. So we built Outlyer to solve this problem with the goal of making monitoring simple to consume and deploy. The result was a self-service monitoring platform that enables agility at scale, supports microservices, and builds collaboration between dev and ops teams.
Over the past 5 years the technologies and the players have rapidly changed but our vision remains the same to deliver self service monitoring to all who need it.
