Cover for The Story Behind Bitaic

Every great innovation begins with a problem. For us, it was the growing complexity of modern infrastructure. Distributed systems, microservices, hybrid clouds—these technologies unlock incredible opportunities but also introduce unprecedented challenges for the teams managing them. Traditional monitoring tools weren’t keeping up. Heavy agents slowed systems, high costs strained budgets, and complex configurations created friction for teams needing agility.

Why We Built Bitaic

Bitaic’s seven co-founders united around a shared vision: to create a monitoring platform that goes beyond tracking metrics or sending alerts, empowering teams to build resilient systems that foster growth, innovation, and productivity.

Designed from the ground up for modern challenges, Bitaic addresses the pain points of traditional tools. Our lightweight agents minimize performance impact, automation reduces manual effort, and real-time insights keep teams ahead of issues. With a developer-first mindset, intuitive CLI, and affordability, Bitaic empowers small, highly productive teams to achieve extraordinary results with ease.


Our Organization's Core Principles

Bitaic was founded around a core set of principles that continue to guide everything we do:

  1. Small Team Dynamics
    Small teams in a flat organization should have the autonomy and agility to get the job done.

  2. Data-Driven Decisions
    The best decisions are based on data and evidence.

  3. Automation First
    We prioritize automation to save time, reduce errors, and focus on delivering innovation to our customers.

  4. Remote-First Company
    Distributed teams creating distributed software—that's the best way to live.

  5. Keep Our Software Simple
    Not every feature should be built, but every feature built should work well and be intuitive.

  6. Resilience by Design
    Reliability isn’t optional. From architecture to operations, we're built to withstand failure.

  7. Security is a Priority
    Security isn't an afterthought, but rather a critical step in every stage from development to operations.

  8. Transparency and Trust
    Clear communication and openness guide our decisions and actions so that we can all succeed together.

  9. Accessible for All
    With our Startup and Non-Profit Programs, and our Free Forever tier, our tools are accessible for all.

  10. Net Positive Impact
    We aim to make ethical, sustainable contributions as individuals and as an organization.


Looking Ahead

Our journey at Bitaic is just beginning, but our vision is clear: to redefine what’s possible in infrastructure monitoring. We’re here to help you build resilient, automated systems that scale effortlessly, enabling your team to focus on creativity and innovation.

This is the Bitaic way. Monitoring designed for resilience, built for teams, and powered by innovation.
