I recently changed teams within Grafana and now I get the chance to work with Grafana Loki, our highly effective open source log aggregation system that stores and queries logs from your infrastructure or applications. At Grafana, we always dogfood our products so what better way to learn more about Loki than trying out a simple use case that I can actually benefit from.
The promise: Order any groceries and essentials from Blinkit’s mobile app, and they’ll be delivered to your doorstep within 10 minutes. The process: Very difficult with a legacy logging tool. For Blinkit, the instant delivery service formerly known as Grofers that serves millions of consumers across India, their tech stack was beginning to interfere with business operations at a time when the company was hyperscaling due to its popularity.
