symmetric-ds VS fluent-bit

For those interested in the source, here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/JumpMind/symmetric-ds

I’m not a database guy, but maybe look at symmetricds. Also at https://hub.docker.com/r/jumpmind/symmetricds.

There are several CDC (change data capture) solutions on the market. I've used https://www.symmetricds.org quite successfully in the past.

And then using https://www.symmetricds.org/ with mongodb

Use replication. https://www.symmetricds.org/

We’ve shown one of the almost endless approaches to monitoring IRIS applications deployed in GKE. This time we’ve focused on metrics stored in Cloud Monitoring and displayed in Grafana. But don’t forget about IRIS logs. Pods logs are, at the moment of writing, gathered by fluentbit and sent to Cloud Logging where they can be viewed.

Some of the HN discussion about whether "new projects in C should be allowed" is moot: Fluent Bit was imported into git in 2015 [0] (a few months before Rust's first public release), and may be considerably older than that for all I know.

I suppose incidents like this actually do give a reason to "rewrite it in Rust", when "it" is "widely deployed infrastructure written in C". OTOH, I'm sure there were plenty of non-memory-safety bugs introduced and later fixed over the years, and rewriting in Rust will recapitulate that subset of bugs.

> Libc is a lot more tricky about signals, since not all libc functions can be safely called from handlers.

And this is a huge thing. People do all kinds of operations in signal handlers completely oblivious to the pitfalls. Pitfalls which often do not manifest, making it a great "it works for me" territory.

I once raised a ticket on fluentbit[1] about it but they have abused signal handlers so thoroughly that I do not think they can mitigate the issue without a major rewriting of the signal and crash handling.

Fluentbit is Fluentd's lightweight alternative to itself.

From here, we can explore other developments and tutorials on Kubernetes, such as o11y or observability (PLG, ELK, ELF, TICK, Jaeger, Pyroscope), service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, NSM, Consul Connect, Cillium), and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, FluxCD, Spinnaker).

From this (https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/723), I can see there is no grok support for fluent-bit.
