Open source observability platform Grafana Labs today announced that it has acquired Pyroscope<\/a>, the company behind the eponymous open source continuous profiling<\/a> platform. Founded in 2020, the Y Combinator-backed Pyroscope raised a seed round in 2021 and counts the likes of Sensor Tower, Confluent, Line and Plaid among its customers. Grafana plans to integrate Pyroscope with its Phlare<\/a> continuous observability database, with the merged service now called Grafana Pyroscope.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve admired the work that the Pyroscope team has done, and feel that the combination of Pyroscope, Phlare, and Grafana will really help bring continuous profiling to the masses,\u201d said Tom Wilkie, CTO at Grafana Labs. \u201cThey\u2019ve built a great community around continuous profiling, and we\u2019re looking forward to working with both the team and the community to advance the state of the art in profiling technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the advent of cloud-native systems, continuous profiling became something of a necessity for companies that wanted to understand how their resources are being used. The idea here is to create regular snapshots of a company\u2019s entire compute infrastructure and then storing that in a database like Phlare. Grafana itself calls continuous profiling the \u201cfourth pillar of observability\u201d (the others being metrics, logs and traces \u2014 which tend to focus more on memory usage, networking data and logging data).<\/p>\n

Pyroscope can gather data from across a company\u2019s infrastructure, both through its agent and directly from the Linux kernel using eBPF<\/a>. That data is then sent to the Pyroscope server, which is based on the BadgerDB key-value database.<\/p>\n

And while there is a definite need for a product like this, it\u2019s maybe more of a feature for the major observability platforms than a standalone product. That may be especially true in the current environment, where a lot of companies are trying to consolidate their infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n

With $540 million in funding, Grafana is also in a good spot to pick up some of these smaller companies now, especially as the funding environment is becoming more difficult. Grafana says it will natively integrate Pyroscope into its platform to help developers visualize their profiling data and \u201ccorrelate it with their metrics, logs, and traces to get a comprehensive view of their entire stack.\u201d These capabilities will also come to the company\u2019s hosted Grafana Cloud platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe share with Grafana Labs strong roots in OSS and a belief that the developer experience is essential for helping engineering teams build, maintain, and operate great software,\u201d said Ryan Perry, co-founder and CEO of Pyroscope. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring our expertise and collaborate with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
