Metaplane by Datadog

The article announces that Metaplane, a data observability platform, has been acquired by Datadog. The founders of Metaplane had the goal to help companies trust their data and saw an issue with data teams being last to know about issues. To address this, they built Metaplane to flip the script, making data teams proactive in detecting, resolving, and preventing any data issue. Datadog acquired Metaplane as part of its mission to create a unified observability platform that connects infrastructure, application, and data monitoring, giving teams visibility across the entire data lifecycle. The acquisition will bring Metaplane's data observability expertise to Datadog's industry-leading platform and resources, ultimately redefining what data observability means to deliver trust in data across companies.
