About Us
The rise of cloud-based infrastructure and services has fundamentally changed how modern applications are built and deployed. Gone are the days of self-contained monolithic architectures, where every dependency was within your corporate network. Today, developers rely on a wide range of external APIs and services to deliver essential features and accelerate business outcomes. This shift to a highly connected and dynamic architecture has brought new challenges for operators, such as unpredictable outages, security risks, and complex troubleshooting.
Led by a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and tech leaders with experience scaling solutions at companies like Shopify, Instacart, DigitalOcean, Hashicorp, and NS1, Qpoint was built to address these evolving challenges. Our platform provides the visibility and control needed to help operators manage their mission-critical apps' external dependencies and traffic to boost reliability, streamline troubleshooting, optimize cloud spend, and mitigate security risks without added complexity.
