Scalyr Raises $2.1M Seed Round For Its Log Monitoring And Analysis Service
Summary
Scalyr, a log-monitoring service that gives developers more insight into how their applications are performing (or why they aren’t), today announced that it has raised a $2.1 million seed round led by Susa Ventures. Log files can quickly grow very large, and analyzing them takes quite a bit of compute power. They did a silent launch two years ago but decided to keep things quiet as they worked with early customers and improved and validated the product. Newman tells me that he is happy with the state of the core product, but the company plans to launch more connectors so developers can pull in data from more sources (today, it offers an agent developers can install on their machines, as well as support the likes of Heroku and Amazon’s RDS and CloudWatch services). Newman tells me that one of his goals is also to give users more guidance and help them figure out what kind of queries they should run to get the most out of their data.
