A couple years ago we were hurting from having no easily accessible centralized logs. We also had some in-house timeseries database tech that we were looking to deploy more widely but needed first to stress test. After stumbling on an overview of Loki, we whipped up a service that presented a Loki-compatible API on top of our timeseries database, and killed two birds with one stone. Because we have full control over the data ingestion and storage too we are able to keep the data in a structured form with full type information. It's fantastic in that it ties in with the rest of our use of Grafana too.
