Mortar Is Joining Datadog
We have some big news to share: Mortar is joining Datadog, the leading SaaS-based monitoring service for cloud applications. We will be putting our team and our technology to work inside Datadog to expand their analytics capabilities and generate new insights for their users. Datadog processes hundreds of billions of data points every day from servers and applications, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to apply what we have built at Mortar on that scale.
This is a big change for us, and although we are working hard to limit the impacts on our customers, it will be a change for them, too. As we transition into Datadog, we will be winding down the public Mortar service over the next few months. If you’re currently a Mortar user, you will have continued access to your account until May 15, giving you time to transition to new tools and to transfer or back up your Mortar code.
We have created guides on how to transfer your code, whether it is stored in Web projects or in GitHub-backed Mortar projects. And we’ve created a guide to running Mortar code outside the Mortar service using Luigi, the workflow engine developed and open-sourced by Spotify. Ensuring code portability for our customers is one of the main reasons why we built the Mortar platform using the best available open technologies and languages.
We're incredibly grateful to all of you who have been our customers, who have helped spread the word about Mortar, or who have offered invaluable advice as we built this business over the past 3.5 years. We hope you have enjoyed using Mortar as much as we enjoyed building it. We could not have done it without your support, feedback, and encouragement.
We also hope you’ll keep an eye on what we’re doing in our new digs at Datadog. It ought to be a very exciting 2015.
