SHARE
New Relic Inc. today announced plans to acquire Pixie Labs Inc., a startup with a platform for monitoring Kubernetes workloads that launched from stealth mode just over two months ago.
Pixie Labs launched at the start of October with $9.15 million in initial funding and a platform designed to make it easier to monitor applications running on Kubernetes. Enterprises need to keep an eye on the state of their services to make sure they’re not experiencing any technical issues that may hinder user productivity or customer experience. To do so, they embed special “instrumentation” code into their applications that collects operational data.
