Librato, Inc. announced today that it has closed a $3.8M Series A round of funding to enhance its product offerings and build on strong momentum with customers.

Since the company launched its monitoring data analytics service in March of 2012, it has grown to over 500 customers, processing billions of data points each day. A vibrant community has grown around its monitoring data platform, which has developed integrations with over 50 existing monitoring tools. Librato has also begun to deliver turnkey solutions for popular tools, starting with AWS CloudWatch.

'Operations Analytics has become a mission critical function in organizations. Leading companies like Coursera, Heroku, Moz, and Wooga to use Librato because they need a highly available and easy to deploy solution for analysis and storage of the massive volumes of data they collect to track the health of their services,' said Steve Anderson, founder of Baseline Ventures, who has joined Librato's board.
