Our Mission

To prevent incidents, eliminate troubleshooting, and increase productivity for engineering teams who develop and operate modern applications.

Our founding story

The idea for Causely materialized from decades of real-world experience solving the challenges of operating distributed systems at scale. Our founder, Dr. Shmuel Kliger, has long been passionate about creating systems that save humans from troubleshooting. His entrepreneurial journey began in 1993 as the first employee and CTO at SMARTS, a startup that became the world's leading provider of real-time network management software when EMC acquired it for ~$300 Million in 2005. Shmuel then founded Turbonomic (originally named VMTurbo) in 2008, and the company became the leading provider of application resource management for private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. IBM acquired the company in 2021 for ~$2 Billion.

In 2022, Shmuel incorporated Causely to pursue the next frontier. Cloud-native architectures have become popular with engineers because of the speed and ease added for software development. However, these architectures make it exponentially more difficult to diagnose, remediate, and prevent application performance problems. This complexity and dynamism is the reason why we started Causely; to bring into the world a system capable of delivering autonomous service reliability for cloud native environments.

To bring this vision to life, Shmuel teamed up with experienced former Turbonomic engineering leaders Christine Miller, Endre Sara, and Enlin Xu, as well as Steffen Geissinger, a key member of the founding engineering team that built SAP HANA. Causely isn't chasing a fad; our vision is shaped by having deep, real-world experience building elegant solutions for complex problems. Our mission is to shift engineering teams from reactive troubleshooting to autonomous service reliability, which helps prevent business disruption and improve engineering productivity.
