yeet (Virt Inc.) builds a programmable Linux runtime and observability platform using JavaScript and eBPF for kernel-level monitoring, from GPU utilisation to network traffic analysis.
yeet, operated by Virt Inc., is a Linux runtime and observability platform that lets engineers build custom infrastructure tools for monitoring and controlling their systems at the kernel level. The platform combines a JavaScript-based programmable runtime with eBPF at the kernel boundary: engineers describe what they want to observe and see live data from their machines in minutes. The company is based in Chicago.
The yeet Platform covers a broad range of kernel-level telemetry work, including GPU utilisation monitoring, memory leak detection in training jobs, stalled workload detection, HTTP traffic analysis, process and signal tracing, USB traffic monitoring, container introspection and network traffic analysis. The company reports system overhead of less than 1% CPU usage, and positions the tooling for critical incident-response situations.
yeet was founded by systems engineers and kernel experts who refused to accept “mystery outages” as normal. The work spans eBPF, systems programming, performance monitoring and profiling, and serves developer infrastructure and tooling, site reliability and incident response, and AI/ML training and GPU workloads. Given the technical nature of the product and its practitioner audience, work at the company sits close to the underlying kernel and systems tooling.
