Sawmills provides an AI-powered telemetry data management platform that helps enterprises manage and optimize the data flowing from engineering teams to observability tools. The platform processes logs, metrics, and traces in real time, using AI to detect missing data, enforce consistent formats, and apply smart sampling, routing, aggregation, and dropping to reduce costs and prevent outages. Built on the OpenTelemetry Collector, Sawmills offers automated policies, one-click recommendations, intelligent routing to cost-effective storage, and vendor flexibility to switch observability vendors without disrupting monitoring. Early adopters report improved telemetry optimization and better alignment of observability resources with business needs. The company emerged from stealth with $10M in seed funding led by Team8, with participation from Mayfield and Alumni Ventures. Sawmills was founded by enterprise software veterans previously at New Relic, CloudBees, and Tricentis and is based in San Francisco.
