In this episode of the Startup Hustle podcast, Matt Watson interviews Ozan Unlu, the founder and CEO of Edge Delta, an observability company. They discuss the challenges of managing large amounts of data in complex production environments and the need for developers to have access to production data without compromising security.

"I'm excited because not very often do I get a podcast host who also has a tremendous amount of experience in the space."
"I think my unique experience of being an ex-developer who then went solution architect and went salesperson, showing up once a week and really working with the customers on deep technical challenges, kind of in the front trenches, that..."
"Edge Delta is the concept of how do we start looking at data as it's being created, as close to the source of that data as possible, and how do we start to pre-process, pre-aggregate, and frankly have machine learning and some even basic AI running on the edge."
"We have to have a very long-term vision on this, even on day one."
"The team is probably the number one thing."
"It feels like you're on the treadmill, just trying to get a few customers landed."
