Better Stack is now used by 200,000+ developers and 4,000+ customers, including enterprises such as Time Magazine, Salesforce, ESET, Accenture, Decathlon, and Rakuten, startups like Brave, Hugging Face, Apollo, and Drata, and non-profits such as Unicef, and Raspberry Pi.
Veronika Kolejak, co-founder & COO said, "Growing aggressively in 2023, Better Stack introduces Figma-like collaborative dashboards that re-imagine how engineers work together to resolve incidents fast. We’re known to be the best tool for alerting the right engineer when something goes wrong. The new dashboards give engineering teams the tools they need to collaborate on fixing the root cause faster than ever before”.
Veronika Kolejak, Better Stack COO and co-founder said: "Take 10 engineers off the street and ask them: are you fluent in Datadog Query Language, New Relic Query Language, AWS CloudWatch Query Language, PromQL, LogQL… and 9 out of 10 will say no. But every engineer knows SQL, which is why with Better Stack, we're making it the querying standard for software observability. And this is just one of the decisions we made that makes us 'just work' for so many engineers."
Juraj Masar, Better Stack CEO and co-founder commented: "We lived the daily struggles engineers go through at our previous jobs and with Better Stack we decided to solve at least some of them. We are simply engineers making the tools we always wanted to use."
Tomas Hromada, Better Stack CTO added: "For us, developer tools don't mean they can't be beautifully designed or a joy to use. We think that all users, whether they are indie hackers or CTOs of large corporations, deserve a great experience. Developers do care about working with tools that focus on design and UX as much as they focus on functionality."
Tomas Obrtac, General Partner at KAYA added: "The Better Stack team understands the inner workings of modern engineering teams better than anyone else. Their product is an obvious choice for fast-moving companies: 100x faster and 10x cheaper is an easy choice."
