Chronospherea startup that provides a cloud-native observability platform, announced today that it has been acquired Calyptia. While the company itself may not be a household name, Calyptia was founded by the creators of the Fluent ecosystem, which includes the popular Open source monitoring projects Like a data collector Fluently and processor and redirector metrics Bit fluentboth part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s portfolio of capstone projects.
Like similar startups, Calibtia aims to turn these projects into paid SaaS products. Team A raised $5 million seeds in 2022, led by Sierra Ventures and Carbide Ventures. Chronosphere and Calyptia did not disclose the acquisition price today, but we have seen a lot of similar acquisitions in recent months as well-funded end-to-end platforms like Chronosphere acquire point solutions like Calyptia as companies now increasingly look to bolster their outlay capabilities. Just last week, Chronosphere announced a $5 million strategic investment from CrowdStrike valued at $1.6 billion, bringing the company’s total funding to date to nearly $350 million.
“As observability data grows in volume, companies are ill-equipped to manage the costs and scale of this deluge, forcing their teams to make trade-offs. Teams face particular challenges in dealing with log data that is difficult to transfer,” said Martin Mao, CEO and co-founder of the company. It is expensive to store.” Chronosphere. “With the addition of Calyptia’s leading Observability Pipeline solution, we are taking an important step to ensure that developers have ultimate control over all of their observability data end-to-end – including log files to control cost and improve developer productivity.”
With Calyptia, Chronosphere says, its users will get an observable pipeline system, which users will be able to use to collect, transform, and route their metric, log, and trace data. This, for example, means that they will now be able to route data from the company’s recently announced log storage and visualization solution (powered by Crowdstrike) to their preferred data back-end.
Chronosphere also notes that it will continue Calyptia’s involvement with the open source Fluent ecosystem.
“Kaliptia joins in Chronosphere “The team is excellent news for everyone investing in the future of open source cloud native technology,” said Chris Anieszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. “In today’s world, anyone who doesn’t embrace open source technology risks being left behind. I’m excited to see how the Fluentd and Fluent Bit projects will continue to grow and evolve as more end users embrace the capabilities of cloud-native observability.”
