These ones found no difference: http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html https://users.rust-lang.org/t/optimizing-rust-binaries-obser... This guy found Musl much slower for multithreaded allocation: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/testing-alternative-c-memory-... These found Musl a bit slower with LTO: https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/2313 Except for that LinkedIn one (which feels like it might be a bug), it seems like there isn't really much in it, which is what I'd expect tbh. Kind of like Clang vs GCC. Sometimes one is faster, but probably not by much.

Check out Vector for shipping logs from Docker. It might work out for you https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sources/dock... I use Podman for all of my container stuff and there are issues with how Podman produces JSON logs https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/6807 https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/16317 which needs to get fixed before I can use it for my workloads.

Not sure what pricing you are talking abot in the context of Vector. Its license explicitly allows free of charge commercial use. https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/LICENSE For the record here is what Vector is: https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/website/s...

Datadog bought Timber Technologies (creators of Vector) two years ago. https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-acquires-timber-techn... Timber definitely intended to just rock out & demolish everything else out there with their agent/forwarder/aggregator tech. But it wasn't a competitive play against OTel, in my humble opinion. Timber's whole shtick is that it integrates with everything, with really flexible/good glue logic in-between. A competent multi-system (logging, metrics, eventually traces) fluentd++. OTel - I want to believe - would have been part of that original vision. It's just taking a really really long time. One can speculate how direction & velocity might have changed since the Datadog acquisition. The lack of tracing (anywhere except Datadog, so far) materializing has been a hard hard hard & sad thing to see. OG https://gi

Vector is fantastic software. Currently running a multi-GB/s log pipeline with it. Vector agents as DaemonSets collecting pod and journald logs then forwarding w/ vector's protobuf protocol to a central vector aggregator Deployment with various sinks - s3, gcs/bigquery, loki, prom. The documentation is great but it can be hard to find examples of common patterns, although it's getting better with time and a growing audience. My pro-tip has been to prefix your searches with "vector dev <query>" for best results on google. I think "vector" is/was just too generic. A nice recent contribution added an alternative to prometheus pushgateway that handles counters better: https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/10304#issuecom...

Otel support in Vector is an often requested feature. Across multiple threads. There seems to be good noises & some occasional we'll get to it, but so far there's just otel log ingest support, which has been there for a while now. https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/17307 I'm excited for these front-end telemetry routers to keep going. Really hoping Vector can co-evolve with and grow with the rest of the telemetry ecosystem. Otel itself has really started in on the next front with OpAMP, Open Agent Management Protocol, to allow online reconfiguration. I'd love to know more about Vector's online management... quick scan seems to say it's rewriting your JSON config & doing a SIGHUP. https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/opamp/ Vectors configurability & fast-and-slim promise looks amazing. Everyone would be so much better off if it c

Keeping Vector out of the benchmark game shows that Signoz couldn't beat it https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector

There are also Toshi[1] and Sonic[2] in Rust. And Vector[3] as a Logstash alternative too. There is an issue[4] proposing to integrate Vector with Sonic and Toshi. Maybe Zinc can pursue this goal too. Always good to see people who realize that Java is unwieldy monster that will eat all your memory. Native is a way to go for big systems.

Run vector [1] on each host to collect logs and send them to New Relic's free tier. No need to manage extra infrastructure for logging, New Relic works pretty well and also has alerts, and Vector makes it easy to move to a new provider or self-hosted solution without reinstalling agents: just add a new sink to your config file.
