Coralogix, the well-funded observability platform, on Monday announced that it has acquired Aporia, a startup that focuses on giving businesses tools to observe and secure their AI workloads, as well as set guardrails for them to avoid hallucinations or unintended disclosures. As part of this acquisition, Coralogix will launch a dedicated AI research center, Coralogix AI, which will be led by Aporia co-founders CEO Liran Hason and CTO Alon Gubkin. Aporia’s technology will be integrated into Coralogix’ service.

“This acquisition is a significant step for us. Using Aporia’s technology and expertise, hundreds of AI teams already using Coralogix today will be able to enjoy high-quality visibility, protection, and control over their AI systems,” said Coralogix CEO Ariel Assaraf.

The overall idea here is to use Aporia as part of a new unified monitoring platform for both AI and more traditional workloads that give users insights into their data pipelines, infrastructure, applications, and AI systems, the company says. Coralogix was founded in 2014, and while it offers a wide range of monitoring, analytics, and security services — as well as AI tools on its own platform — the company didn’t have dedicated tools for monitoring AI systems. Acquiring Aporia closes this hole.

Aporia was founded in 2019, well before the latest round of hype around large language models but already with a focus on machine learning. Since its launch, the company raised a total of $30 million, with the last round being a $25 million Series A in 2022. Investors include Tiger Global, TLV Partners, Samsung Next, and Vertex Ventures.

The two companies did not disclose the price of the acquisition, but the announcement fits a wider trend we’re seeing these days where larger platforms acquire point solutions as the market — and enterprise budgets — prefers full-stack platforms.

“This expansion strengthens Coralogix’s commitment to taking our AI strategy and delivering the best tech to our customers. Our new research center will foster AI innovation and collaboration, providing our clients with the tools and environment needed to drive the future of AI systems,” siad Coralogix CTO Yoni Farin.
