Google Stackdriver was a cloud computing systems management service offered by Google. It provided performance and diagnostics data, including monitoring, logging, tracing, error reporting, and alerting, to public cloud users. Stackdriver supported both Google Cloud and AWS environments.
History
Stackdriver was founded in 2012 by Dan Belcher and Izzy Azeri.[1] The company aimed to provide consistent monitoring across multiple layers of cloud infrastructure using a single software-as-a-service platform.[2]
Stackdriver secured US$5 million in funding from Bain Capital Ventures in 2012. A beta version of the product became publicly available on April 30, 2013.
In May 2014, Stackdriver was acquired by Google.[3] In October 2016, Google launched an expanded version of the product as Google Stackdriver, adding support for log analysis, hybrid cloud environments, and deeper integration with Google Cloud.[4]
In February 2020, Google retired the Stackdriver brand and announced an operations suite of products in Google Cloud Console.[5] In August 2020, Google referred to the product family as the Google Cloud Operations Suite.[6]
By 2025, Google had started using the name Google Cloud Observability.[7]
