- capkutay 11y agoTableau is for business analysts. Splunk is for Sys Admins. ELK is for engineers with a lot of patience.
- genericpseudo 11y agoThe ELK stack is really fancy next generation "tail -f | grep" in a web browser. Which is awesome and really important, but a very different problem from "tell me how many users have used my app for three or more days in a sliding thirty day window".
- jstandard 11y agoI've been eyeing a switch to the ELK stack from Mixpanel + Big Query for an app. Could you expand on what ELK is useful for?
- fidget 11y agoOh god, don't do it. Running E is a bitch, and incredibly expensive. To get L running over any kind of load, you need to do so many hacks.
- genericpseudo 11y agoAt work we use it for log aggregation (specifically application-health telemetry from a mobile application). Very useful in debugging.
