status: retired
summary: 'Librato is fully retired. The San Francisco metrics and monitoring company was
  acquired by SolarWinds (reported at $40 million), its platform was folded into SolarWinds
  AppOptics — released November 2017 to integrate much of the SolarWinds portfolio including
  Librato and TraceView — and AppOptics has itself since reached end of life. Every
  librato.com host now 301-redirects to the AppOptics end-of-life notice, the API host no
  longer resolves, and the GitHub organization is archived.'
