Srujan Narkedamalli is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing and operating high-scale, low-latency observability systems, currently leading data ingestion and storage architecture for Wavefront/Tanzu Observability in San Jose. He has driven production improvements that doubled ingestion throughput to 4.5M metrics/sec, cut storage and query costs dramatically, and delivered features that enabled cost-effective high-cardinality analytics and real-time alerting at 99.95% availability. Comfortable across Java, FoundationDB, gRPC, and cloud storage, he combines deep systems design (sharding, retention enforcement, compression) with hands-on performance engineering and platform leadership. Beyond platform work, he launched Wavefront’s distributed tracing and ApplicationMap with intelligent tail sampling and span compression, and contributes tooling and open-source libraries to improve developer productivity. Known for rapid prototyping—e.g., a one-week Cursor scale test tool that enabled org-wide adoption—he also invests in mentoring and scaling teams through structured onboarding and operational best practices.
