I've worked at companies with objectively large amounts of data. Splunk scaled to meet their workloads. At no enterprise doing this is someone able to just isolate a single log file and grep through it at scale.
- Aeolun 3y agoPresumably you can have a cluster of grepping machines. I wonder how it scales compared to the millions you pay for Splunk.
- baq 3y agois your business' core competency building a distributed grep or actually selling useful stuff?
- radiator 3y agoWell, according to what people write in this thread, a distributed grep or some other way to organize a decent central logging system might be a necessary part of the core competency. Because if they buy splunk instead, they might go bankrupt.
- baq 3y agoYou don’t have to be splunk to make money out of distributed grep but it turns out to not be that easy… as proven by the fact that there are quite a few competitors
- Aeolun 3y agoMy core competency is saving the business tons of money, so that they can pay me.
