Sift

First-principles thinking. High urgency. Building smarter teams. These lessons from SpaceX are now driving Sift’s mission. ?? Hear how Karthik applies them to modern machine observability in this video https://lnkd.in/e-kbye2c

The Aerospace industry has a fundamental problem: The tools used to develop, test, and operate complex machines haven't kept pace. ?? This gap creates a massive drain on teams. They're needed to build and maintain internal telemetry tools, rather than innovate. The consequences? ? Delayed missions and setbacks ? Hidden costs piling up ? Data integrity concerns ? Top engineers diverted to internal tooling At Sift, we needed to validate our assumptions. We wanted to confirm through an independent survey what customers were telling us. The result? ?? A report detailing the challenges of Aerospace observability. Take a look. Do these findings mirror your experience? Let us know. https://lnkd.in/epzj8Zzw

We're thrilled to announce that Sift has been named a winner in Fast Company's 2024 Next Big Things in Tech Awards! ??? This honor acknowledges our efforts in advancing transportation innovation with a platform that streamlines testing and enhances operational efficiency for complex machines at scale.??

Welcome to the paradox of autonomous tech: We’re so busy chasing the next big headline that we’re neglecting the unglamorous nuts and bolts holding it all together. Sure, cutting-edge perception systems and AI algorithms are sexy. But the real heroes? They’re the engineers grappling with the mundane yet crucial challenges that make these systems actually work in the real world. The future of autonomous systems isn’t about what they can do in ideal conditions. It’s about what they can do reliably, consistently, in the real world. We need machines we can trust with our lives, day in and day out. Systems as dependable as they are thrilling. Read Karthik's latest article on Futurride https://lnkd.in/egPpeKCD

"Good enough” isn’t good enough in mission-critical engineering. ?? Sift’s CEO Karthik Gollapudi shares insights from the Own Your Potential podcast, detailing the edge Sift brings to its customers building modern machines. https://lnkd.in/eg-rN7w8

“Good enough” isn’t an option. If you’re relying on traditional monitoring, you’re already behind ??. Anyone building modern machines needs to demand more. Observability digs deeper—cutting through the noise to expose problems before they derail a mission. Monitoring is reactive—like a check engine light. Our latest blog breaks down hardware observability fundamentals—what it is, how it works, and why it’s critical. https://lnkd.in/e7ggMgD8

??Drowning in data overload? By 2025, we’ll hit 180 zettabytes—and engineers are stuck chasing alerts. At Sift, we’re not adding more data—we’re making it useful. Check out our latest blog to see how we’re making it happen. https://lnkd.in/eA-s4B2t

From film school to SpaceX: Austin Spiegel, our CTO and co-founder, joins Stack Overflow's podcast to share his unique journey, insights on building software for high-stakes environments, and the evolving challenges of hardware observability.

?? How do you get real-time insights from telemetry without drowning in data? Our founders, Karthik and Austin, dive into that on this week’s Pathfinder with {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:organization:71083202|Payload)}}. They break down how we’re helping hardware engineers—building rockets, satellites, and more—automate data review, slash testing time, and identify critical anomalies in real time.
