Data Lakes can be difficult and costly to manage. They require skilled engineers to manage the infrastructure, keep data flowing, eliminate redundancy, and secure the data. We accept the difficulties because our data lakes house valuable information like logs, metrics, traces, etc. To add insult to injury, the data lake can be a black hole, where your data goes in but never comes out. If you are thinking there has to be a better way, we agree!

Adding two components to the data lake transforms your infrastructure to unlock value and mitigate the complexity of the challenges above.

The observability pipeline gives you a vendor-neutral routing tier. The observability pipeline collects and routes data from its sources. You also can reduce and transform where needed. The pipeline empowers users to regain control over data and destinations, simply.

Next, including an observability lake provides an open, vendor-neutral place to store data in its native format! With this model, you can confidently use an affordable storage solution (such as S3), without losing the ability to query, process, or send your data. When you need your data Cribl Stream’s replay functionality allows you to easily take data in the lake and send it back to any existing solutions.

By implementing the observability pipeline and observability lake you not only have more control over your data, you substantially increase the ease of use over a traditional data lake and increase the functionality by making your data more accessible. Use Cribl Steam to manage the volume of data, and save money. Forget about deploying additional agents. View, test, and migrate your data in one simple UI.
