Many businesses rely on cloud infrastructure to power their software solutions. The cloud today makes it easier than ever to create services and components, increasingly the complexity of software. With more and often smaller processes, cloud-native architectures have driven the need for better insights into our software—a way to look into how these processes fit together.

It happens often that an application, when running on bare metal, performs well. However, after the application is packed into an image, tested on Docker/Podman, then migrated to Kubernetes, performance plummets. With an increasing number of database calls issued by the application, the application response times increase. This common situation is often due to data transfer induced I/O delays.

Cloud logging continues to grow in popularity and usage as more organizations transition to storing data in the cloud rather than on-premise storage. This is fueled, in part, due to the numerous advantages that can be gained from cloud logging. For example, cloud logging solutions can scale to increasing data volumes with ease as an organization grows.
