The{RUNTIME}truth for modern softwareThe{RUNTIME}truth for modern software
> Who We Are
A tribe of builders, hackers, and OSS maintainers united by a single question: What if we could know what code actually does when it runs?
We come from deep infrastructure and observability DNA—roots in developing and leading projects like Tetragon, Tracee, Fluent Bit, systemd, Nmap, and the Linux kernel.
> Why We're Here
Childhood friends Umar and Farrukh have been building developer and AI infrastructure since TensorFlow and Kubernetes came out. They got hit by a supply chain incident at a previous startup—before it was a buzzword. This experience made them try something that was never done before—what if you combined the depth of runtime with a developer experience that actually made it legible and valuable for developers? It was a bit too ambitious and required building from the ground up, but if it worked—it could unlock a new kind of visibility primitive for the way modern software is built.
