Dynatrace has developed the purpose-built data lakehouse, Grail , eliminating the need for separate management of indexes and storage. All data is readily accessible without storage tiers, such as costly solid-state drives (SSDs). No storage tiers, no archiving or retrieval from archives, and no indexing or reindexing.

Log management is an organization’s rules and policies for managing and enabling the creation, transmission, analysis, storage, and other tasks related to IT systems’ and applications’ log data. It involves both the collection and storage of logs, as well as aggregation, analysis, and even the long-term storage and destruction of log data.

This operation is quite expensive but our database can run it in a few milliseconds or less, thanks to several optimizations that allow the node to execute most of them in memory with no or little access to mass storage. As well, very few cases are in need to have a full system/solution to provide scalability with sharding.
