Snowflake is planning to acquire AI-based site reliability engineer (SRE) platform provider Observe to strengthen observability capabilities across its offerings and help enterprises with AIOps as they accelerate AI pilots into production.
“Longer term, Snowflake is positioning itself as infrastructure for AI at scale. As AI agents generate exponentially more data, vertically integrated data and observability platforms become essential to running production AI reliably and economically,” Carl Perry, head of analytics at Snowflake, told InfoWorld.
Explaining further, Perry said that issues and bugs with AI-driven applications are harder to diagnose than in traditional software, increasing the pressure on enterprises to identify and resolve problems quickly, and Snowflake wants to tackle this by Observe’s telemetry, log, and trace analytics with Snowflake’s AI and Data Cloud.
