中文正文 · AI 翻译

在 2020 年加入红杉资本担任首席数字和信息官之前，Avon Puri：https://sequoiacap.com/people/avon-puri 在 Rubrik 和 VMware 从事基础设施管理超过十年。三年前，随着大型语言模型开始展现其真正潜力，Puri 与另一位红杉 IT 领导 Sudheer Dhurjati：https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhurjati/ 认识到人工智能可以帮助自主解决基础设施工程师的一大挑战——在技术故障发生之前进行预防。

这两位科技资深人士意识到，与其在系统故障发生后做出反应，不如构建一个预测工具。这个洞察促使他们创建了 Empirik：https://empirik.ai/，一个跟踪系统变化并推断其对整个基础设施潜在连锁反应的产品。

红杉意识到 Empirik 可能成为一种新型的可观测性工具，帮助防止和解决事件。在 2023 年孵化该初创公司后，红杉今年早些时候招聘了前 Quantum Metric 首席产品官和 Salesforce 可观测性副总裁 Kartik Chandrayana：https://www.linkedin.com/in/kartikc/ 担任首席执行官。

Empirik 周二宣布，在获得红杉、Canapi 和 Alumni Ventures 提供的 2100 万美元种子融资后，将独立成为一家公司。

“为了保持系统正常运行，总是花费大量资金，”红杉合伙人 Bogomil Balkansky：https://sequoiacap.com/people/bogomil-balkansky 告诉 TechCrunch，并补充说，大多数现有的可观测性工具无法理解复杂的系统依赖关系。他声称，Empirik 是首批专注于跟踪大规模环境变化的专用工具之一。它充当自主的“交通警察”——允许低风险变化，为较大变更设定护栏，并将最危险的更新标记供人工审查。

通过充当自主基础设施工程师，Empirik 让繁忙的 DevOps 和站点可靠性工程团队能够卸载例行故障排除任务，并专注于更高价值的优先事项。

自今年早些时候推出以来，Empirik 已经吸引了从初创公司到若干财富 500 强企业的客户，包括 S&P Global、Guardant Health 以及一家大型消费品公司（CPG）。

Empirik 的目标是为基础设施工程师做出类似 Cursor 和 Claude Code 对软件开发者所做的事情：自动化某些任务，使他们的工作速度显著提升。

Chandrayana 告诉 TechCrunch，随着 AI 加速软件开发的进程，能够帮助基础设施工程师应对不断变化的系统的工具比以往任何时候都更为重要。

“Agentic AI 对软件所做的事情，Empirik 想对基础设施工程实现，”他补充道。

至于竞争，Balkansky 表示，Empirik 目前处于独立类别，作为 AI SRE 平台（如 Resolve 和 Sequoia 支持的 Traversal）的补充层存在。

Before joining Sequoia Capital in 2020 as chief digital and information officer, Avon Puri：https://sequoiacap.com/people/avon-puri spent over a decade running infrastructure at Rubrik and VMware. Three years ago, as large language models began showing their true potential, Puri, alongside another Sequoia IT leader, Sudheer Dhurjati：https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhurjati/, recognized that AI could help autonomously solve a major challenge for infrastructure engineers—preventing tech outages before they occur.

The two tech veterans realized that instead of reacting to system failures after the fact, they could build a tool to predict them. This insight led them to build Empirik：https://empirik.ai/, a product that tracks system changes and infers their potential ripple effects across the entire infrastructure.

Sequoia recognized that Empirik could be a new type of observability tool that helps prevent and resolve incidents. After incubating the startup in 2023, Sequoia recruited former Quantum Metric CPO and Salesforce observability VP Kartik Chandrayana：https://www.linkedin.com/in/kartikc/ as CEO earlier this year.

Empirik announced Tuesday that it is spinning out as an independent company after raising $21 million in seed funding from Sequoia, Canapi, and Alumni Ventures.

“There has always been a lot of money spent in keeping systems up and running,” Sequoia partner Bogomil Balkansky：https://sequoiacap.com/people/bogomil-balkansky told TechCrunch, adding that most existing observability tools fail to understand complex system dependencies. Empirik, he claims, is one of the first dedicated tools focused on tracking changes across massive environments. It acts as an autonomous “traffic cop”—permitting low-risk changes, setting guardrails on larger ones, and flagging the most dangerous updates for human review.

By serving as an autonomous infrastructure engineer, Empirik allows busy DevOps and site reliability engineering teams to offload routine troubleshooting and focus on higher-value priorities.

Since launching earlier this year, Empirik has already brought on customers ranging from startups to several Fortune 500 players, including S&P Global, Guardant Health, and a major consumer packaged goods (CPG) company.

Empirik’s goal is to do for infrastructure engineers what Cursor and Claude Code did for software developers: automate certain tasks so they can work significantly faster.

As AI accelerates the pace of software development, tools that help infrastructure engineers keep up with constant system changes are more vital than ever, Chandrayana told TechCrunch.

“What agentic AI did for software, Empirik wants to do for infrastructure engineering,” he added.

As for competition, Balkansky claims Empirik is in a category of its own for now, acting as a complementary layer to AI SRE platforms like Resolve and Sequoia-backed Traversal.

情报判断

Aioga 编辑摘要

Empirik 宣布从 Sequoia 孵化项目独立成为公司，并完成 2100 万美元种子轮融资，投资方包括 Sequoia、Canapi 和 Alumni Ventures。其公开定位是通过跟踪系统变更，推断变更对基础设施的潜在影响，以预测系统故障。

背景分析

Empirik 由 Avon Puri 和 Sudheer Dhurjati 发起，Sequoia 于 2023 年孵化该项目，并于今年任命前 Quantum Metric 首席产品官、Salesforce 可观测性副总裁 Kartik Chandrayana 担任首席执行官。报道还称，公司客户包括 S&P Global、Guardant Health 及一家大型消费包装品企业。

Aioga 观点

Aioga 判断：Empirik 的差异化方向在于跟踪大规模环境中的系统变更及其潜在影响，并尝试承担部分基础设施工程工作；但现有材料未提供故障预测准确率、实际处置效果或长期客户结果，产品价值仍需更多证据验证。

影响与后续

可能影响：基础设施团队可能获得一种面向变更风险识别和事件处理的新工具，但这不代表系统故障能够被普遍提前避免。企业评估时需要关注复杂系统依赖识别、人工审核安排，以及低风险变更、较大变更和高风险更新的处理边界。后续观察：应关注 Empirik 是否披露可验证的故障预测表现、客户使用结果、支持的基础设施范围，以及其所称自主基础设施工程能力在真实环境中的具体限制。
