Fluent

Fluent Bit is an end-to-end observability pipeline designed for collecting, processing, and forwarding logs, metrics, and traces. It is particularly well-suited for cloud and containerized environments due to its lightweight and high-performance architecture. The tool enables users to gather data from various sources, enrich it using filters, and then distribute it to a wide range of defined destinations. This processor and forwarder is built for high throughput with minimal CPU and memory usage, making it efficient and scalable. It offers granular control over data parsing and routing, allowing for optimization of security and cost. With over 80 plugins, it integrates seamlessly with cloud-native services, containers, streaming processors, and data backends, providing flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. Fluent Bit is a CNCF graduated project, emphasizing its open-source nature and community support.
