""We haven't been using them yet. We evaluated using them. We think they're a great product. It actually increased our confidence when we looked at the acquisition, given our experience and our evaluation personally, of how it can be effective here at Snowflake," he said. "That just gave us yet another positive sign that this is something that would be amazing. I think the main focus, though, is our customers.""
""People lose visibility into critical data because they just can't afford to store it," Perry said. "What Observe does is it inverts that process. Like 'Lets just use cloud storage, which is the least expensive storage mechanism on the plant, and it has almost infinite scale, and the cost is incredibly low for customers, and then we'll build the experience on top of that, leveraging Snowflake as the core data platform and then adding in observability specific functionality.'""
""Analytics outfit Snowflake is buying telemetry data platform Observe to help its customers discover and mitigate IT issues before they cause downtime. It announced the deal on the same day its own services experienced a "major outage." Carl Perry, head of analytics at Snowflake, told The Register that the company plans to use "all tooling at its disposal" to mitigate its own downtime incidents," but has not yet added Observe's products to its repair kits."
Snowflake is buying Observe, a telemetry data platform, to help customers discover and mitigate IT issues before they cause downtime. The acquisition was announced the same day Snowflake experienced a major outage. Snowflake’s analytics lead said the company plans to use all available tooling to mitigate downtime but has not yet integrated Observe into its internal repair kits. High storage costs lead enterprises to discard telemetry, reducing visibility. Observe inverts that model by leveraging low-cost cloud storage and building observability features on Snowflake as the core data platform. Observe raised $156 million and reported rapid revenue and customer growth.
