Our take
As companies switch to cloud-native strategies, the main problem they face is how to store, keep track of and analyse data in real-time. Chronosphere offers scalable cloud monitoring services custom-built for managing cloud-native infrastructure and apps.
The company is entering a field that is on the rise, albeit crowded with both startups and leaders like Microsoft Cloud Monitoring and Amazon Cloudwatch. Chronosphere's edge likely lies in the cost efficiency of their service, and what seems a relatively transparent billing model. In addition, the founders are using Chronosphere to continue developing their open-source metrics engine M3.
This open-source product has proven a draw for both investors and customers, even when up against tech industry giants. The company's significant growth and funding (most recently from CrowdStrike) efforts have resulted in a $1.6bn valuation, Chronosphere has managed to remain highly competitive in a rapidly expanding market as it further optimizes its product.
