Dash0 Acquires Polar Signals for Continuous Profiling and GPU Visibility

Observability startup Dash0 has acquired Berlin-based continuous profiling specialist Polar Signals, expanding its capabilities in the developer toolkit. Polar Signals' technology offers continuous profiling for Nvidia CUDA workloads in production, providing visibility down to individual GPU kernels to help monitor resource consumption and pinpoint performance problems.

The acquisition adds another source of runtime evidence to Dash0's AI agent, Agent0, which can now use profiling data to suggest changes and prepare pull requests for fixes. Dash0 will also integrate Polar Signals' Great Lakes storage engine and engineering team, aiming to replace ClickHouse beneath SignalStore with Great Lakes, storing metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in the same engine.

The deal extends beyond continuous profiling, with Polar Signals' open-source project Parca remaining open source and continuing to be maintained.
