Independent software studio

Make complex systems see‑through.

Diafyx builds tools that show what really happens inside databases and distributed systems: every step, traced from real source code and explained in plain English.

How we build

About

Diafyx comes from the Greek dia, “through”, and phainein, “to show”: the same roots as diaphanous. Showing what happens through a system, from the request going in to the result coming out, is the whole idea.

Diafyx is an independent studio run by Sepuri Sai Krishna, a data engineer who spends a lot of time inside the internals of data and distributed systems.
