Company mission

To create a better life for site reliability engineers.

Our take

More companies are making the shift to cloud computing, but it’s a costly business - especially for enterprises. Budgets for cloud management run into the millions annually, and yet Garnter is still predicting that up to 60% of leaders will experience cloud cost overruns. So a software market is emerging for cloud management automation tools to help tamp down the workload - Sedai is a startup player looking to score a slice of it.

The agentless Sedai platform leverages AI to identify opportunities to optimize cost, availability, and latency for its users’ cloud resources; anticipate potential outages and seasonal changes; and proactively deploy strategies to avoid disruptions.

Sedai will face stiff competition. Fellow startups like Blink and Zesty are offering similar capabilities, and giants like Microsoft, Google, and AWS are developing their own solutions. Nevertheless, Sedai is getting in early on a rapidly growing market. Cloud spending currently makes up over a quarter of IT budgets, with that number expected to rise as cloud adoption accelerates. With strong backing behind it, and a number of customers for its beta launch product, Sedai has made a confident opening play.
