Launch YC: Datafruit: AI DevOps Engineer

"AI DevOps Engineer that automatically handles deployment and management of cloud infrastructure."

Founded by Venkat Arun, Abhiram Chennupati, Nick Papciak & Tom Jeong

Hi everyone, meet Venkat, Abhi, Nick, and Tom — founders of Datafruit.

Who The Founders Are

They are best friends from high school who have spent a ton of time causing (and fixing) vulnerabilities on projects they've made together. After high school, they went to UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech. While there, Abhi taught Computer Security at Berkeley, and Nick was the Head TA for algorithms at Georgia Tech. The Datafruit founders then went on to work on cloud infra at different high-growth startups and Amazon, respectively.

The Problem

DevOps teams lose countless hours to operational interruptions. Managing temporary access, spinning up preview environments, rotating secrets, investigating cost spikes. Whether it's routine tasks that eat up time or complex issues requiring deep company knowledge - they all pull you away from strategic work

The Solution

Datafruit is an AI agent that learns your infrastructure, deployment standards, and design docs, then handles ops work through natural language requests in Slack or their UI.

Once Datafruit indexes your environment, you can ask it to do things like:

  • "Grant @Tom write access to analytics S3 bucket for 24 hours" Creates temporary IAM role, sends credentials, auto-revokes tomorrow.
  • "Create preview environment for PR #20" Spins up an isolated environment with test data, posts URL in PR, tears down on merge.
  • "Rotate API keys for x-service without downtime" Implements dual-secret rotation, updates deployments, verifies health, deprecates old keys.
  • "Why did Data Warehouse costs spike yesterday?" Identifies expensive queries, shows optimization options, implements fixes.
  • "Migrate our payment service from EC2 to EKS" Containerizes the app, creates EKS cluster with node groups, migrates volumes/configs, implements zero-downtime deployment, updates CI/CD pipelines.

The Ask

  • Platform/DevOps leaders at 50-500 person companies: Datafruit can reduce your operational overhead.
  • Building a platform team? Skip months of internal tool development
  • Know DevOps/ Platform engineers facing these challenges? The founders would appreciate an intro
