Summary
A European Commission notice published Monday shows Apple told the EU in March it had agreed to acquire certain SigScalr assets and hire some of its employees.
SigScalr built SigLens, an open-source observability platform that aggregates logs, metrics and traces at massive scale for monitoring and debugging.
SigLens had been marketed as a faster, lower-cost alternative to rival observability tools, pointing to the technology and talent Apple appears to be targeting.
The deal adds to Apple's developer-tooling push, with earlier reporting saying the company could use SigLens capabilities to improve software debugging and potentially bolster Xcode.
