Apica Extends Scope And Reach Of Platform For Managing Telemetry Data
devops.com, Tuesday, April 7th, 2026
Apica today updated its Ascent platform to add support for synthetic data that is increasingly being used by artificial intelligence (AI) agents to observe application environments.
Version 2.16 of the platform adds support for a set of real user monitoring (RUM) and service level objective (SLO) dashboards, an ability to correlate changes made to any given rule to the cost of processing telemetry data, and additional performance enhancements.
Andi Mann, chief product technology officer for Apica, said collectively these updates will make it more feasible for DevOps teams to feed telemetry data at scale into observability platforms in a way that enables them to better control costs.
As application environments have become more complex, the amount of telemetry data being generated has exponentially increased. Fortunately, it has become easier to collect that data using, for example, open source OpenTelemetry software. However, many DevOps teams are now trying to manage massive amounts of telemetry data.
