LimaCharlie
LimaCharlie — Security infrastructure-as-code platform providing EDR, detection rules, and telemetry pipeline as API primitives.
Our Verdict
Infra-as-code EDR for teams that want to build, not buy; a bad fit if you need turnkey SOC tooling.
Pros
- Pay-per-use pricing beats flat SIEM seat licenses
- API-first design lets you wire detection into existing stacks
- Transparent sensor code and open detection rule format
- Fast sensor deployment across Windows, Mac, and Linux
Cons
- Requires engineering to build what other EDRs give out of box
- Fewer pre-built detections than commercial competitors
- Steeper learning curve for non-programmer analysts
- Support model is self-serve heavy for lower tiers
Best for: Security-engineering teams and MSSPs building custom detection pipelines and tooling.
Not for: Small SOCs wanting pre-packaged detections and managed response out of the box.
When to Use LimaCharlie

- EDR-as-code for custom threat detection rule deployment
- Security telemetry pipeline for SIEM and SOAR integration
