groundcover Unveils Industry’s First Automated Observability Migration Tool to Unleash Teams From Legacy Vendor Lock-In

New self-service tool helps teams migrate from Datadog to groundcover in days—no consultants, no downtime. Support for more vendors coming soon.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--groundcover, the BYOC-driven observability platform for modern architectures, today announced the launch of its Observability Migration Tool, the industry’s first fully automated, self-service migration solution that enables organizations to unleash themselves from legacy vendors such as Datadog to groundcover in days instead of months.

Across the observability landscape, migration inertia has become one of the biggest blockers to innovation. Even as modern platforms offer greater scalability and cost efficiency, enterprises find themselves penned into legacy tools like Datadog, New Relic and Grafana due to the complexity and risks associated with migration.

Most migrations today depend on manual, service-heavy engagements or step-by-step guides that can take months and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. groundcover’s Observability Migration Tool transforms this process by turning migration itself into a product, not a project. With full automation and zero engineering overhead, observability teams can migrate confidently, quickly and completely.

With this release, organizations can now migrate from Datadog to groundcover in a matter of minutes. In the coming months, the same platform will extend support for Grafana, New Relic, and other observability vendors, bringing full interoperability to the monitoring ecosystem.

“For too long, observability teams have been trapped by the fear of breaking dashboards or losing critical data during a migration,” said Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-founder of groundcover. “We built the Observability Migration Tool to end vendor lock-in once and for all, with a fully automated, self-service solution that preserves every metric, dashboard and monitor with uncompromising accuracy and reliability.”

Automated Migration in Days, Not Months

groundcover’s Observability Migration Tool automates every step of the migration journey, including:

• Automatic metric and label mapping using groundcover’s prebuilt templates.
• Dashboard recreation and visual comparison tools to ensure perfect fidelity.
• Self-service integration setup across AWS, GCP and Azure, eliminating manual engineering dependencies.
• Smart recommendations for unsupported elements, giving users transparency and control throughout the process.

“Developers shouldn’t need professional services just to change where their data lives,” said Orr Benjamin, Vice President of Product at groundcover. “With this tool, anyone can move their entire observability stack in a few clicks, keeping every chart, alert and integration intact. It’s migration made for builders, not consultants.”

Available Now in Private Preview

The Automated Migration Tool was unveiled during KubeCon North America 2025 where attendees can schedule a meeting and visit groundcover at booth No. 520 to take a look at the demo. The announcement marks the beginning of the tool’s private preview phase.

General availability is planned around AWS re:Invent 2025 in early December, where attendees can schedule a meeting to meet with groundcover at booth No. 1732.

Interested organizations can sign up for early access and demos through the Observability Migration Tool product page. For more information, explore groundcover’s in-depth blog post.
