About Memfault

Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform that empowers teams to build more robust devices at scale.

Companies like Lyft, Logitech, Bose, Whoop, and Verkada use Memfault's performance monitoring, device debugging, and OTA update capabilities to ship fast and build high-quality products.
