Google acquires cloud monitoring service Stackdriver

From InfoWorld: Google has snapped up startup Stackdriver that offers a service for developers to monitor apps and services on the cloud.

Stackdriver is joining the company's cloud platform team, Google said Wednesday, without providing the financial details of the transaction.

The teams will be working to integrate Stackdriver's functionality so that Google Cloud Platform customers can take advantage of the monitoring capabilities, which allow customers to have more visibility into errors, performance, behavior, and operations, Tom Kershaw, a Google product manager wrote in a blog post.

Google is investing more in the area in the coming months, he added, without providing details.

Stackdriver in Boston, said on its website that it was founded in 2012 on the belief that as cloud hosting takes off, tools for monitoring Amazon Web Services and other cloud environments would be required.
