CtrlB positions itself as a unified data lake for IT & Security (SIEM) data, allowing companies to achieve log management/SIEM without spending a quarter of a million dollars annually. The observability tools market, valued at $12 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $20 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 20%. The platform has already gained traction with innovative startups like Limechat and GoComet, by demonstrating its value in reducing debugging time and cutting down costs by 60%-70%. At the heart of CtrlB’s innovation is its dual- component architecture: an indexing strategy that delivers sub-second lookups with minimal CPU overhead, complemented by a proprietary serverless hybrid search engine. This powerful combination enables developers to perform full-text, analytical, and time-series searches on their IT and security data, with vector search capabilities on the horizon. The company is founded by Adarsh Srivastava from IIT Kanpur and Balasubramanian from Iit Bombay.
