What is groundcover?
groundcover is a cloud-native observability platform powered by eBPF technology that breaks free from the limitations of traditional SaaS solutions. Built specifically for modern production environments, it operates entirely within your own cloud infrastructure to provide comprehensive visibility across your entire stack. The platform eliminates the need for code changes or complex instrumentation, delivering instant insights through its eBPF-powered sensor that automatically streams enriched telemetry data.
With its unique Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) architecture, groundcover processes and stores all observability data within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), ensuring unprecedented security, privacy, and control. The platform offers predictable per-host pricing instead of ingestion-based models, significantly reducing costs while providing unlimited data collection without sampling or rate limiting. From infrastructure monitoring and application performance management to log management and LLM observability, groundcover delivers all-inclusive capabilities with no tiers, gates, or restrictions.

FAQs
-
What is considered a host for billing purposes?
A Kubernetes host or any Linux host of any size that is actively monitored by the groundcover platform. -
How does groundcover calculate the number of hosts for monthly billing?
The platform calculates pricing based on the average number of hosts monitored over the past month, so you pay for average usage rather than short-lived peaks. -
What makes groundcover's pricing model different from traditional observability platforms?
groundcover uses per-host pricing instead of ingestion-based models, offering predictable costs without data volume penalties or hidden fees. -
What deployment modes are available with groundcover?
groundcover offers Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment where the backend runs in your cloud, and Fully On-Prem deployment for high-compliance environments. -
Does groundcover require code changes for implementation?
No, groundcover requires zero code changes and deploys instantly using eBPF technology for automatic instrumentation.
