Real-time streaming needs real-time analytics As enterprises move their workloads to cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services, the complexity of observing their workloads increases. Log data—the most verbose form of observability data, complementing other standardized signals like metrics and traces—is especially critical. As cloud complexity grows, it brings more volume, velocity, and variety of log data.

What is Fluent Bit? Fluent Bit is a telemetry agent designed to receive data (logs, traces, and metrics), process or modify it, and export it to a destination. Fluent Bit can serve as a proxy before you send data to Dynatrace or similar. However, you can also use Fluent Bit as a processor because you can perform various actions on the data. Fluent Bit was designed to help you adjust your data and add the proper context, which can be helpful in the observability backend.
