Chronosphere, a startup that provides a cloud native observability platform, in the present day introduced that it has acquired Calyptia. Whereas the corporate itself is probably not a family title, Calyptia was based by the creators of the Fluent Ecosystem, which incorporates the favored open-source observability projects like knowledge collector Fluentd and metrics processor and forwarder Fluent Bit, each of that are a part of the Cloud Native Computing Basis’s set of graduated tasks.
Like related startups, Calyptia aimed to show these tasks into paid SaaS merchandise. The group raised a $5 million seed spherical in 2022, led by Sierra Ventures and Carbide Ventures.
