Sazabi
AI-native observability — agents that read your logs, find production issues, and open the fix as a PR
Last verified August 15, 2026 · Updated daily
What Sazabi is building
Sazabi is observability rebuilt for teams that ship AI-generated code continuously. The thesis: Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex transformed how software gets written, but the second half of engineering — monitoring, debugging, incident response — is stuck in the pre-AI era of hand-configured dashboards, brittle instrumentation, and noisy alerts. Instead, Sazabi deploys AI agents that learn a team's logs, infrastructure, and codebase, then proactively detect, investigate, and resolve production issues — including opening pull requests with fixes, or launching a Cursor cloud agent to ship the change. The architecture is deliberately logs-first: founder Sherwood Callaway's view is that 'logs are just events, metrics are aggregated events and traces are basically correlated events,' so Sazabi accepts only logs (stdout/stderr, OpenTelemetry-compatible) and derives metrics and traces on the back end, with an AI-compressed storage layer that summarizes an hour of logs into a queryable package. Chat is the primary interface (Slack is the main entry point), plus a CLI that gives your coding agent visibility into observability data. Closed alpha: 50 teams onboarded in two weeks, 8,000 background investigations, 2,000 issues detected, 200 PRs opened. Integrations with 35+ hosting services including Vercel, AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Neon, and Supabase.
Why this matters
The angel list is the signal: 60+ operators from Vercel, Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, and Replit are exactly the people who see where AI-era developer tooling is going, and they put money in. J2 Ventures GP Christine Keung supplied the category-defining frame: 'If Datadog defined observability during the cloud-native era, Sazabi is defining it for the AI-native one.' Hunter Walk of Homebrew, who backed code-review platform Graphite early, said Sazabi 'reminds me of Graphite in the early days.' Callaway's own positioning: 'Sazabi is what Datadog would look like if it were built in 2026 instead of 2010.' The company deliberately targets early- and growth-stage startups rather than enterprises locked into legacy stacks, and differentiates from AI-SRE startups like Traversal and Resolve by owning its own storage layer instead of sitting on top of Datadog. The counterweight to know: Datadog and Grafana are incumbents actively adding AI features, so Sazabi is betting a rebuilt-from-first-principles product beats bolted-on AI.

Hiring outlook
The announcement explicitly earmarks funding to 'expand its engineering team, accelerate product development, and deepen integrations.' A small post-YC team with strong alpha traction (50 teams in two weeks) hires founding engineers immediately — and the 60+ angels from Cursor, Vercel, and OpenAI form a referral network you'd be competing against, so move fast.
Working at Sazabi
Since 2025, Sazabi has built AI-native observability — agents that read your logs, find production issues, and open the fix as a PR. The team is now <50 people. Working at a B2B, Infrastructure company at this stage means broad remit, direct access to founders, and equity that still means something if the company works out.
The majority of roles are in San Francisco, CA, USA.
