Using Clojure, especially to slap together Riemann configs, is really not an insurmountable obstacle, especially when something as useful as Riemann is on the line. The more the self-defeating attitude that "Clojure's too hard" propagates the less likely people will be to even try. Most SRE's are pretty smart, I believe in them.
- otterley 11y agoThere are some great commercial options in this space like SignalFX and Sumo Logic. The cost of Riemann's learning and implementation challenges would have to be made significantly less for entire teams to make it a viable alternative to those, in my experience. If anyone runs a team of 25 or more SREs and effectively uses Riemann (and there's more than 3 domain experts), and is not otherwise a Clojure shop, I'd love to hear from you.
