Optimizing telemetry data management: A case study in streamlining data processing and cost control

In this session, we’ll examine how Getty Images implemented Cribl Stream to transform telemetry data processing operations. Initially deployed to replay S3 data into Splunk software and manage Syslog and Crowdstrike feeds, this solution evolved into a cornerstone of our observability pipeline.

We'll discuss how this implementation optimized analytics performance, reduced costs, and created strategic flexibility for future migrations. Key achievements include establishing effective disaster recovery processes through S3 data rehydration, implementing smart data retention policies, developing cost attribution mechanisms, and dramatically reducing operational overhead.

This case study demonstrates how modern telemetry data architectures can deliver both immediate operational benefits and long-term strategic advantages for Getty Images.
