Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET) has announced the acquisition of Baselime, a trailblazer in cloud-native observability solutions. This acquisition marks Cloudflare’s ambitious entry into a new domain, aiming to address the inherent challenges of serverless application observability.
Serverless computing has revolutionized the way applications are built, offering a scalable infrastructure without the hassle of management. However, observability, or the insight into application behavior, remains a notable challenge.
Cloudflare’s integration of Baselime’s cutting-edge technology with its robust developer platform promises to bridge this gap, offering developers unparalleled visibility into their serverless applications.
The union of Baselime’s observability platform with Cloudflare’s expertise is expected to empower developers with the tools necessary for building, debugging, and maintaining reliable, scalable, and secure serverless applications. The enhanced platform will provide a comprehensive view of application trends, performance bottlenecks, and errors, ensuring high operational standards.
With Baselime under its wing, Cloudflare is set to transform the observability landscape for serverless apps. Developers can look forward to analyzing observability data across myriad parameters, adopting OpenTelemetry-based tools for seamless integration across various frameworks, and leveraging a suite of developer-centric enhancements.
These include real-time error tracking, actionable alerts, and an AI-powered debugging assistant, all designed to optimize performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency of serverless deployments.
This acquisition is a testament to Cloudflare’s commitment to enabling developers to push the boundaries of modern observability, ensuring that serverless architectures meet the rigorous demands of today’s digital ecosystem.
“Two million developers building on Cloudflare trust us to help scale their apps globally, but can still struggle to understand the behavior of their cloud applications,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO, Cloudflare.
“We believe that to be the leading developer platform, having the best observability tools built in is going to be table-stakes. Baselime has raised the standard for serverless observability and we can further unlock those insights for every developer building on our platform.”
“Cloudflare is building the next frontier of cloud computing with their connectivity cloud. Our core mission has always been to simplify and innovate observability for the future of the cloud, and Cloudflare’s ecosystem offers the ideal ground to further this cause,” said Boris Tane, founder and CEO, Baselime.
“With Cloudflare, we’re positioned to deeply integrate into a platform that two million developers trust, enabling them to build, ship, and troubleshoot applications fast. I am incredibly excited about the potential of what we can build together and the impact it will have on developers around the world.”
