Edelbyte Develops Data Infrastructure for AI Workloads

Founded in November 2025, Edelbyte develops a data infrastructure platform that helps businesses search, process, and analyse large volumes of information.

Its platform combines data analytics, text search, spatial queries, and AI-driven workloads within a single system. The technology is designed to reduce the need for companies to maintain separate data platforms for different applications.

The company aims to compete with established data infrastructure providers, including Snowflake, Databricks, and ClickHouse.

Funding to Support Enterprise Data Platform Expansion

Edelbyte plans to address the growing demand for data infrastructure as businesses adopt artificial intelligence and handle increasingly complex workloads.

Its platform can operate across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments. Customers can also choose between managed and self-hosted deployment options.

According to the company, its technology can reduce infrastructure costs by compressing raw data and improving query performance. Edelbyte says some customers can run up to 10 times more queries within the same budget.

Former Microsoft Engineers Founded Edelbyte

Edelbyte was founded by four former Microsoft engineers: Avner Aharoni (CEO), Evgeney Ryzhyk (CTO), Alexander Sloutsky (VP of Engineering), and Yoni Leibowitz (VP of Platform Engineering).

The founders spent more than a decade working together on large-scale data systems at Microsoft. Ryzhyk and Sloutsky were also part of the original team behind Kusto, the data platform that later became the foundation for products such as Azure Data Explorer.

The company currently employs approximately 40 people across Israel, Europe, and the United States, with offices in Tel Aviv and San Francisco.

Edelbyte Targets Growing Demand for Enterprise Data

Edelbyte says it is already serving Fortune 500 companies and operating petabyte-scale data systems for global organisations across information security, automotive manufacturing, and financial services.

As AI adoption increases, businesses need infrastructure capable of processing larger volumes of data and handling more complex searches. Edelbyte aims to address this demand through a unified platform designed to improve performance and reduce operating costs.
