In an industry where “all-in-one” observability platforms often fall short of the single-pane-of-glass promise, today, Chronosphere, which makes an observability platform that is focused on microservices and containers, has announced it is doing something different with a new Partner Program. By integrating with best-in-class providers across key domains—including LLM Monitoring, Real User Monitoring (RUM), Synthetics, Incident Response, and Profiling — Chronosphere and its partners Arize, Checkly, Embrace, Polar Signals, and Rootly fill critical gaps to deliver customer value that goes beyond cost savings.
“These are the top five partners, but we do have more in the program,” said Martin Mao, founder and CEO of Chronosphere. “These are the major ones, however, as defined by their core capabilities.”
Why partner with Chronosphere? Chronosphere is purpose-built for cloud native environments. They are also future-proofed with OSS standards like 100% PromQL compatibility. They are also built to scale, with their largest customers sending over 20 million data points per second. The company said that whether you are looking to control costs or improve your developer productivity, Chronosphere, coupled with the muscle of the partner ecosystem, can help get you to where you need to be. If your digital transformation includes ensuring you have an observability strategy that will take you into the future, Chronosphere also has got partners covered. Together with our partners we enable our customers to know, understand, and triage data, the company said.
Here are the five top partners, which have strong representation from ISVs.
Arize and Chronosphere integrate LLM monitoring with full-stack observability, ensuring accurate, reliable, and scalable AI services. This allows users to identify inference issues proactively, link model behavior with backend systems, and fully control AI data.
Chronosphere and Embrace integrate RUM (Real User Monitoring) data from mobile and web directly into Chronosphere’s OpenTelemetry-native platform. It is information collected from actual users’ interactions with a website or application, providing insights into real-world performance and user experience from the client-side. Developers can correlate individual user sessions with backend traces, closing the gap between frontend behavior and service performance to detect issues faster, keep end-users happy, and ensure reliability at scale without vendor lock-in.
Polar Signals enhances Chronosphere’s observability platform with continuous profiling for AI and traditional workloads. The integration provides nanosecond-level, source-code-accurate insight into CPU, GPU (including NVIDIA CUDA kernel execution), and memory utilization, enabling teams to understand performance bottlenecks in AI inference and training pipelines. This combined solution enables organizations to pinpoint root causes in complex AI workloads, optimize GPU utilization, reduce cloud costs, and accelerate troubleshooting.
Checkly and Chronosphere combine proactive synthetic monitoring with real-time observability to deliver reliable customer experiences. They catch issues early, correlate frontend and backend systems, and accelerate mean time to recovery (MTTR) using open-source formats like Playwright and OpenTelemetry (OTel).
Chronosphere’s precise alerts trigger Rootly’s incident management workflows in Slack or Teams, enabling engineers to collaborate, assign roles, and resolve issues within their existing communication channels.
“Observability is mission-critical for the enterprises we serve, when stakes are high and needs are complex across the entire lifecycle,” Mao stated. “While an all-in-one platform may be sufficient for smaller organizations, global enterprises demand best-in-class depth across each domain. This is what drove us to build our Partner Program and invest in seamless integrations with leading providers—so our customers can operate with confidence and clarity at every layer of observability.”
Mao provided details on the Partner Program and its philosophy.
“We’ve been building it up over time, and are now stitching it together officially,” he said. “It is more nuanced than ones you see in large enterprises. We also want partners optimized for large environments and newer architectures.”
Mao said that beyond these top five partners, there are another five or so currently in the program.
“There is not an infinite amount of ‘better together,’” he noted. “We have most of the major use cases covered, and we have been pretty selective. There has been a strong focus on making sure we are technically aligned with partners.
“We would rather our customers have a best-of-breed solution, which is why we support deep technical partnerships,” Mao concluded.
