On photography, place the inverse mark on a calm, solid area with a contrast ratio above 4.5:1.

Vela is an observability workspace for teams who run production infrastructure. Metrics, traces, logs and deploy history sit on one calm surface, so engineers can find the cause before the pager does — without stitching together four dashboards at 3 a.m. Founded in 2021 by platform engineers Inês Duarte and Tomás Reis, Vela is built around a simple belief: production software should be understandable under pressure. The company is headquartered in Lisbon and Brooklyn, employs 38 people across 11 countries, and supports more than 2,400 engineering teams, from seed-stage startups to public companies. Vela has raised $28M in total funding and is available as a self-serve product and an enterprise deployment.
