Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced it has acquired Metaplane, an end-to-end data observability platform that provides advanced machine learning-powered monitoring and column-level lineage to prevent, detect and resolve data quality issues across a company's entire data stack.

With the emergence of AI and widespread adoption of platforms like Snowflake and Databricks, trust in data has never been more critical to the growth of a business. The acquisition of Metaplane accelerates Datadog's expansion into data observability-building on launches of related products like Data Jobs Monitoring and Data Streams Monitoring.
