Hydrolix has been named Data Observability Solution Provider of the Year for the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards. Hydrolix is a real-time data platform for a wide range of use cases, including observability. This is the company’s third consecutive Data Breakthrough recognition, following Cloud Enterprise Data Warehouse Solution of the Year in 2024 and Data Observability Innovation of the Year in 2025. The program drew over 3,500 nominations globally across data analytics, management, business intelligence, and security.
These awards provide yet more proof of the value we deliver to enterprises looking for real-time analytics. Recent releases include CDN Insights and Bot Insights, which provide turnkey visibility into how your delivery network is performing and how bots are interacting with your content.
Both run on the same foundation that Hydrolix has proven and built from the ground-up: real-time analytics across petabyte-scale data, with cost-effective retention that keeps your data accessible for years.
Visibility for Revenue Protection, Brand Protection, and Risk Control
Network visibility is a basic requirement for protecting revenue and controlling risk related to bot traffic. But getting visibility into that traffic is more challenging than ever, particularly for legacy observability platforms that aren’t designed for today’s scale.
Hydrolix has long been a leader when it comes to providing observability from the enterprise to the edge. Now we’ve made getting started much easier with prebundled solutions that allow your teams to start ingesting and analyzing CDN data in minutes.
CDN Insights gives your teams a unified view of delivery performance across CDN providers so you can find and fix issues before they impact customers. Meanwhile, Bot Insights reveals how bots and AI crawlers are interacting with your content. That includes the cache misses and origin requests that quietly drive up costs as well as the scraping activity that can bypass licensing agreements and lead to lost revenue. Together, these solutions give your teams the visibility to protect revenue during peak events, respond to threats before they become incidents, and make informed decisions about who gets access to your content and on what terms.
Observability for the Biggest Events of the Year
The clearest test of a real-time data platform is how it performs in production at extreme scale. Hydrolix has provided CDN observability for the Olympics, Super Bowl, FIFA Club World Cup, and major Black Friday commerce operations. The business stakes are at their highest for these events, and failures can lead to significant revenue loss and major brand damage. These events generate petabyte-scale traffic that most platforms can’t handle.
Sean McCarthy, Head of OTT, Live Engineering at YouTube, described what that looks like in practice: “The ability to get real-time visibility across petabytes of data, and actually act on it before issues reach end users, is a game-changer.”
650 Customers in 24 Months
Hydrolix has grown from four customers to more than 650 globally in two years, with customers across media and entertainment, e-commerce, financial services, gaming, and other industries. That growth reflects a real gap in the market. Enterprises need better visibility into their data, from origin to edge, and they are all looking to solve the same underlying challenge: scaling their business (and their data) without compromising on performance, data quality, long-term retention, or cost.
