We’re proud to ship Instana’s 300th release.
This isn’t just a version number. It marks years of relentless iteration; shipping value every day, adapting to change, and helping teams stay in control of complex systems.
From Velocity to Vision
Instana started with a clear mission: make observability easy, smart and automated.
Over 300 releases, that vision has evolved.
We’ve grown from simple APM to a platform that observes Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native architectures digital experience and everything in between. All while staying true to core principles:
From Static Data to Smart Context
What makes Instana different?
Our Dynamic Graph continuously maps dependencies and surfaces real-time insights, not just data.
We detect what’s normal, spot anomalies in context, and help teams respond before users notice.
And it’s all built for speed, shipping regular updates and by-weekly releases.
Back in the Leader Quadrant
As we ship release 300, we’re also thrilled to return to the Leader quadrant in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms.
This recognition reflects what our users already know:
You can move fast and still be enterprise-grade :).
“Instana’s strength lies in its ability to deliver high-fidelity observability with low effort — through automation, context modeling, and OpenTelemetry-native support.”

For another 300!
