Calyptia Cloud provides a managed service for visualizing observability data in the cloud. With the new Fluent Bit Enterprise platform, Calyptia is previewing a commercially supported version of Fluent Bit that organizations can deploy on premises or in the cloud to help process and route observability data to the Calyptia Cloud or to log operations analysis tools, such as Datadog.
Calyptia refers to the type of information it can collect with Fluentd and Fluent Bit as first-mile data, because it can be closely integrated with processes and applications.
“There’s a lot of value that can be wrung out of first-mile data, especially in web scale cloud native application environments with thousands of ephemeral microservices generating millions of telemetry data points,” said Jason English, an analyst at Intellyx.
“By observing data as close to the wire as possible, enterprises can react and adjust their infrastructure configurations in near real time, as well as sorting out exactly what log and metric data is significant enough to store in back-end platforms,” he said.
