Overview
Grepr is an autonomous telemetry pipeline that sits between data sources and existing observability tools. It uses real-time ML to compress noisy telemetry by up to 90%, forwarding only high-signal data to Datadog, Splunk, and similar platforms while archiving raw logs in low-cost storage.
Why Grepr is interesting
Founded by ex-a16z partner Jad Naous (Imply, AppDynamics); pilots report up to 90% observability cost reductions by filtering noise before data hits Datadog/Splunk stacks.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Founded by observability veterans — proxy layer preserving existing tools while cutting ingest volume.
Observability cost is a top engineering pain point. Grepr's ML compression must prove accuracy — false negatives in filtering could miss incidents.
