Instana is a German-American software firm based in Solingen as well as Chicago. It specialises in developing application performance management (APM) software.

Products
Instana's application management software (such as, e.g., Instana Chaos ) is intended particularly for use in monitoring the performance of software used in microservice architectures, and permits 3D visualisation of performance through graphs generated using machine learning algorithms, with notifications regarding performance also generated automatically. Their APM tool of the same name is especially purposed for monitoring software used in so-called "container orchestration" (a modular method of providing a software service).

History
The firm was found in April 2015 by Mirko Novakovic, Pete Abrams, Fabian Lange and Pavlo Baron as a spin-off of Codecentric (which was founded in 2005). By December 2017 it had received a total of $26 million from investors, and by October 2018 this had risen to a total of $57 million dollars. However this investment came primarily from outside Germany. $20 million of this funding was raised in the series B round led by Accel, whilst $30 million of this total was raised in the series C round led by Merritech Capital. In February 2019 the company employed more than 100 employees in different sites around Sollingen, including in the suburb of Ohligs.
