Chronosphere<\/a>, a startup that offers a cloud native observability platform, today announced that it has acquired Calyptia<\/a>. 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 observability projects<\/a> like data collector Fluentd<\/a> and metrics processor and forwarder Fluent Bit<\/a>, both of which are part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation\u2019s set of graduated projects.<\/p>\n

Like similar startups, Calyptia aimed to turn these projects into paid SaaS products. The team raised a $5 million seed<\/a> round in 2022, led by Sierra Ventures and Carbide Ventures. Chronosphere and Calyptia did not disclose the price of today\u2019s acquisition, but we\u2019ve seen a lot of similar acquisitions in recent months where well-funded end-to-end platforms like Chronosphere acquire point solutions like Calyptia as enterprises now increasingly look to consolidate their expenses. Just last week, Chronosphere announced a $5 million strategic investment from CrowdStrike at a valuation of $1.6 billion, bringing the company\u2019s total funding to date to almost $350 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith observability data growing by orders of magnitude, companies are ill-equipped to manage the costs and scale of this deluge, forcing their teams to make trade-offs. Teams are especially challenged to handle log data which is prohibitively expensive to move and store,\u201d said Martin Mao, CEO and co-founder of Chronosphere<\/span>. \u201cWith the addition of Calyptia\u2019s leading observability pipeline solution, we\u2019re taking an important step to ensure that developers have the ultimate control over all their observability data from end to end\u2014including log files to control cost and improve developer productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Calyptia, Chronosphere says, its users will gain an observability pipeline system that is 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\u2019s recently announced log storage and visualization solution (powered by Crowdstrike) to their preferred data back end.<\/p>\n

Chronosphere also notes that it will continue Calyptia\u2019s engagement with the open source Fluent Ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalyptia joining the Chronosphere<\/span> team is excellent news for everyone who is invested in the future of open source cloud native technology,\u201d said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. \u201cIn today\u2019s world, anyone that doesn\u2019t adopt open source technology risks being left behind. I\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
