Dynatrace has strategically acquired Metis, an AI-driven database observability platform, to enhance database performance management for development teams. This acquisition, announced on March 5, 2025, marries Metis' specialized AI technology with Dynatrace's existing observability capabilities, addressing significant challenges in database optimization and performance. With automated remediation and developer-friendly insights, this solution empowers teams to proactively manage databases, filling gaps in current observability practices. Florian Ortner highlights the importance of this integration, signifying a shift from reactive to proactive database performance management in DevOps culture.
Database performance has always been a critical yet complex component of application reliability," says Florian Ortner, who announced the acquisition. "By bringing Metis into the Dynatrace family, we're empowering developers and SREs with the AI-driven tools they need to proactively manage database performance rather than reacting to issues after they impact users.
Metis has built its reputation on providing developer-friendly, AI-powered insights for database management. Their platform delivers expert-level recommendations for SQL statements, vector search queries, indices and database schemas - all areas that traditionally required specialized database administrator knowledge.
