Scalyr, the log management, and observability company, today announced the availability of the first cloud-based log analytics platform capable of ingesting over 250TBs of data per customer in real-time. As a result, Scalyr customers can upload, search, analyze, and retain data at an enterprise scale, at a cost that is orders-of-magnitude below current industry standards. Scalyr believes that every company should be able to affordably collect, retain, and use all of its application and infrastructure performance data to maximize system and product insights, reduce MTTR, improve SLAs, and optimize performance. “We code-named this project ‘Sonic Boom’ because we aimed to break through the sound barriers of scale and costs that have prevented many companies from moving log management and analytics to the cloud,” said Christine Heckart, CEO at Scalyr. “The amount of event data that modern organizations must collect, store, and analyze continues to grow exponentially, while budgets do not. Today’s announcement is Scalyr’s answer to this critical issue. This is a watershed moment that will fully transform observability tools into a baseline business utility.” Christine Heckart, Chief Executive Officer of Scalyr, is a veteran of the technology industry, having worked for iconic companies including Microsoft, Juniper Networks, Cisco, and NetApp. I invited her onto the podcast to learn more about Scalyr and what their Sonic Boom breakthrough will mean for businesses. Scalyr is the log management and observability platform for the new stack. Purpose-built to handle the scale and complexity of modern cloud architectures, Scalyr changes the dynamics of delivering healthy applications by allowing engineers to troubleshoot problems quickly and focus on doing what they love – coding. With 96% of searches completing in under one second and thousands of active users, Scalyr has transformed logs from an afterthought into an advantage.
