Renowned observability platform Coralogix recently announced the acquisition of AI monitoring startup Aporia, aimed at enhancing its capabilities in monitoring and securing AI workloads, and providing enterprises with more comprehensive AI system management tools. As part of the acquisition, Coralogix will also establish a dedicated AI research center—Coralogix AI—led by Aporia's co-founder and CEO Liran Hason and co-founder and CTO Alon Gubkin. Aporia's technology will be fully integrated into Coralogix's services.

Coralogix CEO Ariel Assaraf stated, "This acquisition is of great significance to us. With Aporia's technology and expertise, the hundreds of AI teams currently using Coralogix will be able to better understand, protect, and control their AI systems."

The core goal of this acquisition is to integrate Aporia's technology into a new unified monitoring platform that will support both AI workloads and traditional IT workloads, providing users with comprehensive insights into data pipelines, infrastructure, applications, and AI systems. Founded in 2014, Coralogix's platform already offers various monitoring, analytics, and security services along with AI tools, but it has lacked dedicated monitoring tools specifically for AI systems. The acquisition of Aporia fills this gap.

Aporia was established in 2019 and focused on the machine learning field even before the surge of large language models. Since its inception, Aporia has raised $30 million, with the most recent funding round being a $25 million Series A completed in 2022. Notable investors include Tiger Global, TLV Partners, Samsung Next, and Vertex Ventures.

While the two companies have not disclosed the price of the acquisition, this move aligns with current market trends: large platforms are building more comprehensive full-stack platforms by acquiring solutions in specific areas to meet enterprises' demands for integrated platforms.

Coralogix CTO Yoni Farin stated, "This expansion further reinforces Coralogix's commitment to its AI strategy, and we are dedicated to providing our customers with the best technology. The new research center will foster AI innovation and collaboration, providing our clients with the tools and environment they need to drive the future development of AI systems."
