BOOM (Benchmark of Observability Metrics)

BOOM (Benchmark of Observability Metrics) is a large-scale, real-world time series dataset designed for evaluating models on forecasting tasks in complex observability environments. Composed of real-world metrics data collected from Datadog, a leading observability platform, the benchmark captures the irregularity, structural complexity, and heavy-tailed statistics typical of production observability data. Unlike synthetic or curated benchmarks, BOOM reflects the full diversity and unpredictability of operational signals observed in distributed systems, covering infrastructure, networking, databases, security, and application-level metrics.
