Datadog has acquired Metaplane, an AI-driven data observability startup, to strengthen its data observability offerings. Newly branded as "Metaplane by Datadog," the acquisition aims to meet the growing complexity faced by data teams as AI applications become more prevalent. Datadog's VP emphasized that observability is now crucial for data teams, enhancing their workflow management. Founded in 2020, Metaplane has developed tools for anomaly detection in data, ensuring issues are communicated to stakeholders effectively. Previous funding for Metaplane totaled $22.2 million, showcasing its growth before the acquisition.
Observability is no longer just for developers and IT teams; it's now an essential part of data teams' day-to-day responsibilities as they manage increasingly complex and business-critical workflows.
By unifying observability across applications and data, Datadog will help organizations build reliable AI systems.
Metaplane monitors data using anomaly detection AI models trained primarily on historical metadata... and notify stakeholders of issues via their tool of choice.
