Grafana Loki for log aggregation. If you have a distributed system, dont want to spend a lot of time on wrestling with ELK or fell out of your chair when opening the Splunk bill. Loki offers 90% of the features with OSS model and very simple deployment. Complete game changer. Very simple to understand data model, alerts on logs, extract and group data from structured or unstructured logs, combine logs across sources, scales to both small and big system. It’s surprising other tools in the same space have such a hard time hitting the right balance between capability and cost+complexity. Logs are so essential you would think the tooling space around it was better.
