Unravel Data announced the general availability of its 2022 Fall Release of the Unravel Platform.
With this new release, users of the Unravel Platform are now able to leverage several new capabilities including support for Google Cloud BigQuery and Cost 360 for Amazon EMR. These new capabilities are designed to help users boost the efficiency of their public cloud spend, simplify troubleshooting across their big data ecosystem, and improve the overall performance of their business critical data applications.
“Data teams have a clear mandate to ensure that the data pipelines that support their data analytics programs are fully optimized, running efficiently and staying within budget. However, given the complexity of their data ecosystem, getting answers about the health and performance of their data pipelines is harder than ever,” said Kunal Agarwal, founder and CEO of Unravel Data. “Whether they're migrating more workloads to platforms like BigQuery or Amazon EMR or already running it as part of their data ecosystem, enterprise data teams are struggling to control costs and accurately forecast their resource requirements that are ultimately impacting their ability to execute on their strategic data analytics initiatives. With this latest edition, Unravel customers will be better able to gain the full-stack observability they need to optimize performance and manage their costs according to budget.”
Some of the new capabilities in the Fall Edition of the Unravel Platform include:
- Full Cost Governance for Amazon EMR: With Unravel’s new ‘Cost 360 for Amazon EMR’ capability, customers can enjoy full visibility and gain critical insights into their spending on Amazon EMR. A new cost page has been added that enables customers to observe their EMR cost and usage trends and identify anomalies, slice and dice chargeback views with a variety of filters, and actively monitor costs against user-defined budgets that can automatically trigger warnings if costs are projected to exceed predefined thresholds.
- Advanced EMR Cluster Management: To streamline the management of EMR clusters, a new Clusters page is available inside the Unravel UI for Amazon EMR, allowing users to actively monitor all their EMR clusters and cost data from a single location. The Clusters page also helps users quickly visualize, debug, and troubleshoot issues at both the cluster and application levels.
- Unified View into BigQuery Deployments: Unravel enables customers to now view all information about any number of Google Cloud Platform projects and all BigQuery queries in these respective projects from a single interface. Key performance indicators and metadata are collected for every query. The new edition now supports advanced relevance-based ranked search, faceted search based on metadata and performance indicators, time-based search, as well as drill downs into the individual query level.
- Enhancements for Databricks: When scheduling a job to extract metadata from Databricks, Unravel users can now specify multiple database names and can extract up to 25,000 Delta tables in a single job. Other Databricks enhancements include custom pricing for workload and tier combinations, APIs to detect anomalies and metrics, as well as the ability to encrypt passwords and tokens to harden application security.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
