Guance

Guance (观测云) is a Chinese observability platform brand positioned as the "monitoring and observability infrastructure for the AI era." Its official site describes it as an AI-native company building an end-to-end observability data foundation that spans cloud-native to AI-native workloads and from DevOps to AgentOps. The platform collects, tags, stores and presents telemetry from applications, web front ends, back-end services, middleware, infrastructure and cloud platforms in one workspace, so that development, operations, SRE, security and business teams can analyze the same data with shared time, object and business context. The product line covers full-stack observability: dashboards and data insight, infrastructure monitoring (hosts, containers, Kubernetes and cloud resources), log monitoring and analysis, APM application performance monitoring, Profile profiling, RUM real-user monitoring with Session Replay, API availability monitoring, alerting, event center, SLO management, intelligent inspection, security inspection and SIEM analysis, CI visualization, and data governance. A key differentiator is the AI and Agent layer: Guance markets an "enterprise-grade observability AI agent team" that connects to production environments, and it emphasizes making data semantically understandable and actionable for large models and AI agents, with governance boundaries such as permissions, approvals, audit and evidence chains. According to its About page, Guance cites 13 years of technology accumulation and continuous innovation, 650+ integrations with mainstream technology stacks and cloud services, 500+ global customers, PB-scale data with support for million-level QPS writes, a workforce with 80% core technical staff, and 200+ employees across 10+ regions worldwide. The company is headquartered in Shanghai (Zhangjiang Innovation Park, Pudong New Area), with regional offices in Shenzhen, Ningbo, Chengdu and Changzhou in China, and an overseas office in Singapore. It also promotes GuanceDB, its data store, and AgentMeter for AI token usage tracking. Guance is sold as a platform with free, commercial and enterprise editions plus pay-as-you-go billing, and it offers a Playground demo that requires no registration. The brand also highlights unified billing through cloud vendor accounts, with a promotional voucher for binding. Its positioning is that of a unified, open and governable observability foundation for both humans and AI agents, rather than a single-point monitoring tool.

Guance (观测云) presents itself as a company built on the belief that "every call, every inference, every action of an agent needs to be seen." Its About page frames its origin around the shift from cloud-native to AI-native computing and from DevOps to AgentOps, arguing that in an era where AI agents reshape the digital world, observability must become a unified data foundation rather than a collection of disconnected monitoring tools. The brand states that it has accumulated 13 years of technology and continuous innovation, though the evidence does not specify a founding year or founding team. The platform was developed around four architectural principles described on the About page: unified collection, unified tagging, unified storage and unified interface. These principles are intended to create an end-to-end observability data foundation consumed jointly by development, operations, testing, business and AI agents. Over time the product portfolio expanded from core infrastructure and application monitoring into a broad full-stack suite: dashboards and data insight, infrastructure monitoring for hosts, containers, Kubernetes and cloud resources, log monitoring and analysis, APM application performance monitoring, Profile profiling, RUM real-user monitoring with Session Replay, API availability monitoring, alerting, event center, SLO management, intelligent inspection, security inspection and SIEM analysis, CI visualization, and data governance. A defining later-stage development is the brand's pivot to AI-native observability. Guance markets an "enterprise-grade observability AI agent team" that works 7x24 to solve problems from data to decision and from analysis to execution, connecting directly to production environments. The company describes itself as a "truly AI Native company" and even displays company-wide daily token usage on its About page, tracked through a tool called AgentMeter. The platform's data layer, GuanceDB, is promoted as the store supporting PB-scale data and million-level QPS writes. Geographically, Guance has expanded from its Shanghai headquarters into a multi-region operation. The About page lists regional offices in Shenzhen, Ningbo, Chengdu and Changzhou within China, and an overseas office in Singapore, with the team covering 10+ regions globally. The brand reports 500+ global customers and 650+ integrations with mainstream technology stacks and cloud services, and it emphasizes that its observability infrastructure has been validated by systems across multiple industries worldwide. It also offers a no-registration Playground demo and unified billing through cloud vendor accounts, signaling a product-led growth motion alongside enterprise sales.
