Reshaping Software Development

At Straion, we're reshaping the way software decisions are made. Founded in 2024 after years spent at Elastic, Dynatrace, and Netlify, we know how complex compliance, strategic goals, and development standards can become—and how they often slip through the cracks. Straion restores alignment between software specs, code, and business objectives.
