Streamfold is joining Cursor

We’re excited to share that Streamfold has entered into an agreement to join the team at Cursor!

This marks a new chapter for us, and we couldn’t be more energized about what’s ahead. Cursor is fundamentally rethinking the future of software engineering, and we’re looking forward to bringing our experience to that mission.

Our goal with Rotel has always been to enable OpenTelemetry adoption everywhere. Rotel’s focus on resource efficiency and performance has opened the door for developers to implement OpenTelemetry in environments and workloads where cost, resource constraints, or strict runtime requirements made OpenTelemetry impractical. Whether it’s at the edge in serverless environments, on embedded platforms, or at petabyte scale gateways, our goal has always been to push the frontiers of observability.

Today, AI is reshaping how software is built and run in production, and what it means to observe those systems is changing with it. As humans delegate the production of software to agents, observability will only continue to grow in importance. Rotel’s composable architecture is well suited to adapt to the form factors required for observability in an agentic world. We believe working on the frontier of AI provides us the best opportunity to continue Rotel’s mission.

For our users, the most important thing to know is this: Rotel isn’t going anywhere. The codebase will remain available, free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license, and will continue to live on GitHub. Rotel will continue to be built in the open, you’ll have full access as always, and contributions from the community will continue to be accepted. All Rotel repositories, builds, and distributions can now be found at the open source GitHub organization: github.com/rotel-dev.

To our investors, HeavyBit, Uncork, Sunflower, Essence, and our many angels, we are deeply grateful for your encouragement and belief in us over the years. We’ve truly enjoyed the relationships we have made and look forward to continuing them for years to come.

Finally for the community, we’re incredibly grateful for your support, feedback, and confidence in Rotel. It’s meant a lot to us, and it’s played a real role in getting us to this point. Thank you for being part of the journey.
