Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPrabhat Sharma is a founder and CEO with 11 years of engineering and cloud architecture experience, now leading OpenObserve, a cloud-native observability platform that aims to replace Elasticsearch with dramatically lower storage costs and fast setup. Previously he spent several years at AWS as a Solutions Architect specializing in containers, bringing deep operational and cloud-native expertise to product design and Kubernetes/OpenTelemetry integrations. He is a hands-on full-stack developer and contributor to open-source projects like OpenObserve and ZincSearch, with work spanning UI/UX improvements, ingestion pipelines, and backend storage integrations (including S3 interfaces and environment-driven configuration). Based in San Francisco, he blends startup leadership with enterprise-grade systems thinking, and often pairs product decisions with pragmatic devops-driven refactors. An MBA in IT & Telecom complements his technical chops, and a less obvious strength is his track record of reducing operational costs at scale while maintaining petabyte-ready performance.
