The story of solving a problem we faced ourselves—managing observability across thousands of distributed locations without breaking the bank.
Imagine managing reliability for 20,000+ distributed locations—retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, IoT deployments. Each location generates logs. Lots of logs. Now multiply that by thousands.
Traditional observability? Ship everything to the cloud. The result?
We built LogFleet because we needed it. The architecture is inspired by real production systems handling millions of transactions daily across global retail operations.
Process and store at the edge. Ship summaries, not raw data. Your locations should work even when HQ goes dark.
Networks fail. Disks fill up. Services crash. LogFleet is built with circuit breakers, ring buffers, and automatic recovery.
Stream full logs only when debugging. Auto-disable after timeout. Pay for bandwidth only when you actually need it.
The edge agent is Apache 2.0 licensed. Run it, modify it, contribute to it. No vendor lock-in for your critical infrastructure.
LogFleet is built by reliability engineers who have operated observability systems at global scale—not by a team chasing the latest VC trends.
We've spent years managing distributed systems across thousands of locations, dealing with the real challenges: unreliable networks, limited edge compute, cost pressures, and the need to debug production issues at 3 AM.
This isn't our first rodeo with distributed logging. It's the system we wished existed when we needed it.
Honest Assessment: LogFleet is in active development. The core functionality works, but we're still building out features and hardening edge cases.
We believe in shipping early and iterating based on real feedback. If you're facing similar challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
The edge agent is open source and ready to deploy. Start collecting logs in minutes.
