Dynatrace to acquire Bindplane to bring control to the telemetry lifecycle

Dynatrace has entered into an agreement to acquire Bindplane, a modern telemetry pipeline built on open standards that acts as a control plane for data from disparate sources. Together, Dynatrace and Bindplane will extend data collection from the edge through analytics, combining open-standards-based telemetry pipeline capabilities with AI-powered observability to give customers greater access, flexibility, and control of their logs, metrics, and application data.

Cloud-native architectures and AI-driven applications are fundamentally changing the scale and complexity of modern systems. More intelligence is moving to the edge, where ephemeral services, automated pipelines, and AI systems now make real-time decisions based on signals from hundreds of continuously active sensors.

As a result, observability data—logs, metrics, traces, and events—are increasing exponentially in both volume and variety, placing pressure on teams to manage cost, maintain visibility, and extract meaningful insight from increasingly fragmented inputs.

At the same time, expectations for observability have also evolved. It’s no longer enough to understand what happened. Teams need to understand why it happened and trust automated systems to act on that insight.

With thousands—or millions—of distributed collectors producing telemetry non-stop, the challenge isn’t just data volume; it’s coordination. Organizations need a control plane to access and orchestrate telemetry throughout the entire lifecycle, from the edge to analysis.

Today, we’re very happy to announce Dynatrace has entered into an agreement to acquire Bindplane, a modern telemetry pipeline built on open standards that acts as a control plane for data beginning at its source, giving teams greater flexibility and access to how systems collect, process, and route telemetry data before it reaches their observability platforms.

Addressing the challenge of telemetry at scale

As organizations accelerate adoption of cloud- and AI-native technologies, they’re encountering a new set of challenges:

• Rapidly increasing telemetry volumes that drive up cost
• Fragmented data collection across multiple tools and agents
• Limited flexibility in how they can route and store telemetry data
• Manual processes required to normalize and correlate signals

These challenges are not just slowing down operations. They directly impact the ability of teams to implement AI, automate cloud and AI workflows, and deliver reliable digital experiences.

To meet these challenges, Dynatrace and Bindplane will give customers more flexibility, access, and control of telemetry across environments.

Bringing intelligence earlier into the data lifecycle

Bindplane introduces a unified telemetry pipeline that operates at the point where data is collected.

Built on OpenTelemetry, Bindplane enables teams to collect, process, and route observability data in real time before it’s ingested into downstream systems, across any environment, to any destination.

With this capability, organizations can:

• Filter unnecessary data and reduce ingest costs
• Standardize observability signals across diverse environments
• Enrich data with context before analysis
• Flexibly route telemetry across observability, security, and storage platforms

By bringing intelligence earlier into the lifecycle, teams can ensure that the data flowing into their observability platforms is scalable, relevant, and high-quality from the start.

Strengthening the foundation for AI-powered observability

As AI-driven capabilities become more deeply embedded in software delivery and operations, the quality of observability data becomes even more important.

AI systems depend on accurate, contextualized data to generate insights and automate decisions. At the same time, organizations need to be able to explain and validate those decisions to maintain trust and accountability.

This requires a strong data foundation and a unified, context-driven platform approach that integrates high-fidelity log telemetry with metrics, traces, security events, user behavior, and business signals.

By combining the Dynatrace AI-powered observability platform with Bindplane’s telemetry pipeline capabilities, organizations can:

• Improve the quality and consistency of observability data
• Reduce noise and focus on the most relevant signals
• Enable more accurate, explainable AI-driven insights
• Maintain flexibility across multi-tool and multi-cloud environments

Together, this creates a more unified approach to managing telemetry and observability in the age of AI.

What this means for Dynatrace customers

With Bindplane, we are extending Dynatrace upstream into how telemetry is managed before it’s ingested and analyzed. Together, Dynatrace and Bindplane extend data collection from the edge through analytics, combining open-standards-based pipeline capabilities with AI-powered observability. This approach standardizes how inputs are processed across logs, metrics, traces, and events, giving customers the flexibility to route, transform, and analyze data at scale across observability, security, and analytics platforms.

With Bindplane, organizations can:

• Modernize legacy logging and observability practices
• Implement open standards such as OpenTelemetry with greater ease and effect
• Optimize telemetry pipelines for cost, performance, and governance
• Support a broader range of observability, security, and analytics use cases

Bindplane will remain a standalone offering, so existing customers can continue using its capabilities across a wide range of environments and destinations without disruption. Dynatrace intends to accelerate Bindplane’s roadmap through increased investment and deeper integration with the Dynatrace platform, delivering greater flexibility, access, and control of telemetry, resulting in faster innovation and greater value to customers.
