Memfault

What started as a problem faced by engineers at Pebble, where thousands of customers reported issues with Bluetooth connectivity and device reliability, has grown into Memfault—a pioneering embedded observability platform. Founded in 2018 by François Baldassari, Christopher Coleman, and Tyler Hoffman, Memfault was created to empower development teams to operate IoT and edge devices more effectively. The founders realized that by leveraging cloud-based techniques akin to those used in software development, they could dramatically improve the process of identifying and resolving issues on connected devices. Through years of refinement while working at Oculus and Fitbit, Memfault was designed to provide essential tools like crash reporting, firmware delivery, and performance monitoring that were sorely missing in the embedded space.

At Memfault, our mission is to embed reliability engineering deeply into product development. We recognize the challenges faced by teams managing device fleets and aim to bridge the gap between traditional software practices and embedded systems. By making observability accessible, we empower teams to respond to customer issues faster and more effectively, enhancing the overall reliability of IoT products. With support for a variety of platforms including Android, Linux, and various microcontrollers, Memfault continues to innovate in the realm of embedded development, making it easier for organizations to deliver robust, reliable devices that users can trust. Our unique blend of engineering expertise and a keen understanding of market needs allows us to be at the forefront of IoT reliability solutions.
