Data Lakes Explored: Benefits, Challenges, and Best Practices

A data lake is a data repository for terabytes or petabytes of raw data stored in its original format. The data can originate from a variety of data sources: IoT and sensor data, a simple file, or a binary large object (BLOB) such as a video, audio, image or multimedia file. Any manipulation of the data — to put it into a data pipeline and make it usable — is done when the data is extracted from the data lake.

Leveraging Git for Cribl Stream Config: A Backup and Tracking Solution

Having your Cribl Stream instance connected to a remote git repo is a great way to have a backup of the cribl config. It also allows for easy tracking and viewing of all Cribl Stream config changes for improved accountability and auditing. Our Goal: Get Cribl configured with a remote Git repo and also configured with git signed commits. Git signed commits are a way of using cryptography to digitally add a signature to git commits.
