Cribl Surges Past $300M ARR as It Positions Data Platform for AI-First Enterprises

New updates have been reported about Cribl.

Cribl reported that annual recurring revenue surpassed $300 million in 2025, up from $200 million in December 2024, underscoring rapid expansion in its data engine business for IT and security. Multi-product uptake has accelerated sharply, with the number of customers using more than one Cribl product rising more than 90% year over year, signaling deeper platform penetration and higher potential customer lifetime value.

Cloud offerings are now a major growth driver, with Cribl Stream, Edge, Lake, and Search pushing cloud ARR above $130 million and delivering more than 75% year-over-year growth. Management is orienting the product roadmap around an AI-first architecture, arguing that continuously running agents and AI workloads are generating far more telemetry data than legacy storage and analytics systems can handle.

Cribl’s open, vendor-agnostic architecture is designed to route, process, and store this expanding volume of logs, metrics, and traces more efficiently, positioning the company as a core infrastructure layer for enterprises aiming to operationalize AI at scale. CEO and co-founder Clint Sharp said the company is building “agentic telemetry” to prevent existing tools from collapsing under AI-driven data loads and to turn AI ambitions into practical, scalable infrastructure deployments.

To support its scale-up phase and prepare for potential capital markets options, Cribl added two high-profile directors to its board: Mike Kourey, who has guided five companies through IPOs and will chair the audit committee, and Chirantan “CJ” Desai, CEO of MongoDB, who brings experience scaling product-led growth businesses. These appointments tighten financial oversight and add public-market and high-growth SaaS expertise as Cribl’s revenue base expands.

The company is also leaning into ecosystem strategy, announcing a major new partnership with Palo Alto Networks and deepening integrations with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Wiz, and CrowdStrike, which should enhance channel reach and embed Cribl more tightly in customers’ existing security and cloud stacks. Industry recognition has followed its expansion, including placements on the Forbes Cloud 100, Forbes America’s Best Startup Employers (ranking No. 1), Fortune Cyber60, Enterprise Tech 30, and Deloitte Technology Fast 500, reinforcing Cribl’s positioning as a scaled private infrastructure player in observability and security data for the AI era.
