Based in Holon, a town in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, Epsagon was founded in 2017 by Nitzan Shapira and Ran Ribenzaft, both Israeli military intelligence veterans. The company is developing automated end-to-end monitoring technologies for serverless cloud-based systems that are highly decentralized and event-driven, making it difficult to identify potential performance issues. Epsagon’s software, currently in pilot, uses artificial intelligence to predict and troubleshoot such issues.
