Log auditing—and its investigative partner, log forensics—are becoming essential practices for securing cloud-native applications and infrastructure. As organizations adopt more cloud-native technologies, observability data—telemetry from applications and infrastructure, including logs, metrics, and traces—and security data are converging.

The big difference from the monolith, though, is that this is now a standalone service deployed as a separate “application” (service) in our cloud infrastructure. In this step, a pipeline picks our candidate change, deploys the service, makes it publicly discoverable, and redirects a small percentage of production traffic to this new service.
