Metrist, a Portland-based startup designed to monitor the reliability of cloud services and products from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft’s Azure and others, launched on Tuesday with $5.5 million in funding. The company was co-founded by CEO Jeff Martens and CTO Ryan Duffield, whose experience in DevOps traces back to roles at PagerDuty, New Relic, Netdata, and Server Density. Metrist says most digital businesses use more than 100 cloud dependencies to power their products and businesses. The startup says its tech gives organizations real-time visibility into those dependencies so that they can address outages more effectively.
