There are more than 2,000 Grafana Labs customers, including Bloomberg, Citigroup, Dell Technologies, Salesforce, and TomTom, and more than 1 million active instances of Grafana around the world. Grafana Labs provides an open and composable monitoring and observability stack built around Grafana, the leading open source technology for dashboards and visualization. “They’ve built a great community around continuous profiling, and we’re looking forward to working with both the team and the community to advance the state of the art in profiling technology.” “We’ve 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,” said Tom Wilkie, CTO at Grafana Labs.

“We’re excited to bring our expertise and collaborate with the team.” “We share with Grafana Labs strong roots in open source and a belief that the developer experience is essential for helping engineering teams build, maintain, and operate great software,” said Ryan Perry, co-founder and CEO of Pyroscope. In addition to the open source project – which has garnered 7.2k stars in GitHub and has integrated with Grafana via a plugin since mid-2021 – Pyroscope also offers a Pyroscope Cloud product. Leveraging Grafana Pyroscope, Grafana Labs also plans to add profiling capabilities to the fully managed Grafana Cloud observability platform, which already brings together metrics, logs, and traces with Grafana visualizations.įounded by Ryan Perry and Dmitry Filimonov in 2021, Pyroscope was backed by Y Combinator. The new Grafana Pyroscope will natively integrate with Grafana, making it possible for developers to visualize their profiling data and correlate it with their metrics, logs, and traces to get a comprehensive view of their entire stack. It offers developers a deeper view of resource usage of their code, allowing them to understand their application performance and optimize their infrastructure spend. With this acquisition, Grafana Phlare, the open source continuous profiling database that Grafana Labs launched last year, and the Pyroscope project will be merged under the new name Grafana Pyroscope.Ĭontinuous profiling has been dubbed the fourth pillar of observability (after metrics, logs, and traces). NEW YORK, MaGrafana Labs, the company behind the world’s most ubiquitous open and composable operational dashboards, today announced that it has acquired Pyroscope, the company that created the popular open source continuous profiling project of the same name.
