Venture Investors Back New Tool to Keep AI Coding Systems Independent

Greylock Partners is funding Niteshift, a startup built by former Datadog engineers that creates infrastructure for AI coding agents. The company's pitch is simple: the systems that run autonomous code writers should not be locked into one cloud provider or AI company. Niteshift handles the behind-the-scenes work — scheduling tasks, storing data, keeping code sandboxed, managing passwords — that these AI systems need to operate safely and cost-effectively.
