Summary

Datadog has announced that Timber Technologies, creators of Vector, is joining the company. This acquisition aims to enhance Datadog's monitoring tools by providing customers with more control over their observability data ingestion, enrichment, storage, and routing processes. Vector is a vendor-agnostic data platform designed to collect, transform, and route logs, metrics, and traces from on-premise and cloud environments. The integration of Timber Technologies' expertise will enable Datadog to create more efficient and cost-effective data pipelines for customers while addressing compliance concerns and avoiding vendor lock-in.
