Fluent Bit - Building Better Pipelines for Observability and Telemetry Data Management

Learn how to build scalable data pipelines for telemetry data collection and processing in this conference talk from Eduardo Silva of Chronosphere. Dive deep into Fluent Bit, a CNCF graduate project under the Fluentd umbrella, exploring its capabilities to integrate multiple data sources and formats while reliably delivering data to desired endpoints. Master best practices for telemetry data handling including buffering, backpressure, monitoring, and retry logic. Discover how Fluent Bit has evolved beyond log management to handle metrics and traces, featuring full integration with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry formats. Gain practical insights into creating high-performance, resource-efficient pipelines that support complete ecosystem integration for comprehensive observability solutions.
