Renaud Boutet from Datadog announces the acquisition of Timber Technologies, the company behind Vector, to enhance monitoring tools with robust yet flexible solutions for customers' existing workflows. The addition of Vector will provide users with more control over how their observability data is ingested, enriched, stored, and routed, enabling cost-efficient data pipelines in both cloud and on-premise environments. Vector is a vendor-agnostic data platform that allows users to collect, enrich, and transform logs, metrics, and traces from various sources, and route them to desired destinations. The integration of Vector with Datadog will provide new integrations, sophisticated capabilities, and a seamless user experience, aiming to break down silos and provide flexible solutions for observability data management.
