Optimyze

Optimyze (Optimyze.cloud Inc.) was a Zurich, Switzerland based continuous-profiling startup, seeded by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) in 2020, and the maker of Prodfiler — a whole-system, eBPF-based continuous profiler that observed CPU and memory usage down to the individual line of code across C/C++, Rust, Go, PHP, Python, Java, Scala, Ruby and Perl, with roughly 1% CPU overhead and no source-code changes or on-host debug symbols. Optimyze was acquired by Elastic N.V. in October 2021 and its Prodfiler technology was folded into Elastic Observability as Elastic Universal Profiling. The independent company no longer operates: the optimyze.cloud domain no longer resolves, the GitHub organization was archived in 2024, and the Prodfiler developer sub-sites (documentation, app, community) are offline. No independent public Optimyze API, OpenAPI definition, SDK, or developer portal exists to enrich; this profile is retained as an acquired-company lead.

Optimyze is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Observability, Continuous Profiling, Performance, and Cloud Optimization.
