Cloud-native environments have transformed how enterprises build and scale applications—but they’ve also introduced a new layer of operational complexity. Data now flows from an increasing number of sources, in diverse formats, and at a speed that outpaces many traditional observability tools. Addressing this challenge head-on, Dynatrace has announced early access to new platform capabilities for joint Google Cloud customers, designed to turn that complexity into real-time, actionable intelligence.
At the center of this announcement is Dynatrace Grail, a cloud-native data lakehouse built to retain context across logs, metrics, traces, events, and other telemetry data. It enables customers to unify and analyze these data types without losing the relationships between them—a critical factor in generating insights that are both accurate and immediately usable.
Closing the Gaps in Data Observability
Enterprises moving to cloud-native architectures often struggle with siloed data, delayed insights, and high storage or processing costs. Grail was developed to mitigate these issues by combining speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Its architecture supports hot storage-like access speeds across all data, while eliminating the need for re-indexing and rehydration—common pain points in other observability tools. The early access program offers a chance for Google Cloud customers to begin using these capabilities now, helping teams shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive optimization.
Built for Scale, Precision, and Developer Productivity
The collaboration between Dynatrace and Google Cloud extends into multiple areas of the development and operations lifecycle:
A Step Toward Smarter Cloud Operations
Dynatrace’s early access program represents a step forward for enterprises seeking to modernize their observability stack in tandem with Google Cloud infrastructure. The real-time processing and advanced automation built into Grail offer an opportunity to drive more value from existing cloud investments, while enhancing reliability and performance. The platform is expected to become generally available by June 30, giving early adopters a head start in building a more intelligent, integrated approach to managing cloud-native systems.
