#48 – Why We Acquired Polar Signals with CEO Frederic Branczyk

About this Episode

Dash0 is acquiring Polar Signals. In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Polar Signals founder and CEO Frederic Branczyk joins Mirko Novakovic to share how a chance dinner in Berlin turned into a plan to join forces, and why continuous profiling and Polar Signals’ Great Lakes database were the missing pieces Dash0 was already looking to build. They dig into what profiling reveals that traditional observability can’t, how AI can now make performance optimization accessible to every engineering team, and what the acquisition unlocks for Dash0 customers, from always-on CPU profiling to an entirely new approach to GPU performance.
