Gotta agree with pram that kafka sucks poo poo and breaks constantly in frustrating ways. The tooling is also garbage.

ELK also seems to crash and lose data a lot but that might just be our infrastructure team, idk.

elasticsearch changed their data model between major versions so that you can't have multiple types per index anymore. making breaking changes between major versions is fair enough but it doesn't stop it being frustrating when you have to go make changes to your logging code just for this.

just use grep

there's a reason we always log to a local file as well as ELK

We still write local text logs for everything as backup because all the modern solutions either crash and lose data occasionally or have broken auth

Kafka in particular crashes more frequently than most of the services which write to it

Working out why a log message isn't making it from my app into a kibana dashboard is one of my least favourite things.

how much do you have to spend on datadog before they will negotiate on price, they're so expensive it's like candlesmeme.tweet

I'm fairly certain our datadog spend this month was higher than our (covid impacted) revenue
