Manifesto

Software should operate itself. We’re building the foundation.

Our founders helped build and scale core infrastructure at AWS S3, DynamoDB, Rubrik, and Snowflake, powering millions of developers and thousands of enterprises.

We’ve lived the challenges of operating software at scale: rising observability costs, fragmented tools, and critical production data discarded to stay within budget.

We believe you should never have to choose between cost and visibility.Store everything. Query anything.

Now AI agents are deploying, debugging, and operating software. But the observability they depend on was built for humans.

Agents can’t operate what they can’t see.

Oodle is the production context layer that gives agents what they need to see, understand, and act.

We deliver full-fidelity observability across applications, infrastructure, and AI agents at radically lower cost. Our platform is built on object storage for telemetry, serverless compute for queries, and open standards without proprietary lock-in.
