Datadog acquires Quickwit

Organizations in financial services, insurance, healthcare, and other regulated industries must meet stringent data residency, privacy, and regulatory requirements while maintaining full visibility into their systems. This becomes challenging when logs need to remain at rest in customers’ environments or specific regions, hindering teams’ ability to attain seamless observability and insight. To help our customers meet these requirements without sacrificing visibility or introducing multiple logging tools, we are pleased to announce that Quickwit—a popular open source distributed search engine—is joining Datadog.

Quickwit is an open source, cloud-native search engine for logs, built to address the challenges of scale, cost, and speed with growing log volumes. Organizations can easily deploy and manage Quickwit in their own environment—whether in the cloud or on-premise data centers—giving them full ownership of their logs.

At Datadog, our goal is to deliver real-time observability across the full stack, empowering teams to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their systems seamlessly. Quickwit’s unique log management capabilities allow us to tackle new challenges faced by teams that have data residency, privacy, or regulatory requirements.
