Splashing into Data Lakes: The Reservoir of Observability

If you’re a systems engineer, SRE, or just someone with a love for tech buzzwords, you’ve likely heard about “data lakes”. Before we dive deep into this concept, let’s debunk the illusion: there aren’t any floaties or actual lakes involved! Instead, imagine a vast reservoir where you store loads and loads of raw data in its natural format. Now, pair this with the idea of observability and telemetry pipelines, and we have ourselves an engaging topic.

How to mitigate the challenges of data growth

Over the last decade, I’ve rarely met a data professional whose organization wasn’t experiencing data growth and making more demands of their data. We build and deploy new applications faster than we retire old ones, and new data is accumulating dramatically faster on our existing systems than our ability to decide to delete older information. Additionally, the ever-growing number of users and devices interacting with that data increases the strain on the infrastructure underpinning it.

Don't Drown in Your Data - Why you don't need a Data Lake

As a leader in Security Analytics, we at Elastic are often asked for our recommendations for architectures for long-term data analysis. And more often than not, the concept of Limitless Data is a novel idea. Other security analytics vendors, struggling to support long-term data retention and analysis, are perpetuating a myth that organizations have no option but to deploy a slow and unwieldy data lake (or swamp) to store data for long periods of time. Let’s bust this myth.
