Datadog acquires Logmatic.io

Datadog, a company founded in 2010 with the aim of providing comprehensive observability for teams across development, operations, and business lines in public and private cloud environments, has recently announced the addition of log processing and analytics to its platform through the acquisition of Logmatic.io. The integration of logs into Datadog's existing metrics and tracing features creates a unified solution that provides the "three pillars of observability": metrics for overall performance insights, traces for end-to-end visibility into requests, and logs for rich context around discrete events. This acquisition aligns with Datadog's core design principles and enhances its platform by bringing all three pillars together in one place. The company is currently working on integrating Logmatic technology into Datadog to provide a seamless customer experience, with plans to unveil the fully integrated product later this fall.
