Chronosphere, a startup providing a cloud-native observation platform, today announced it has acquired Calyptia. While the company itself may not be a household name, Calyptia was founded by the creators of the Fluent ecosystem, which includes popular open source observability projects like data collector Fluentd and metrics processor and forwarder Fluent Bit, both of which The projects are part of Fluent Bit’s graduate project collection from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Like similar startups, Calyptia aims to turn these projects into paid SaaS products. The team raised a $5 million seed round in 2022, led by Sierra Ventures and Carbide Ventures.

I’m excited to see how the Fluentd and Fluent Bit projects continue to grow and develop as more end users embrace cloud-native observability capabilities. develop.”
