The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and the Fluent Bit community have announced that Fluent Bit has been downloaded and deployed over one billion times. As Fluent Bit is helping users solve complex observability challenges across cloud-native, IoT, and bare metal environments, and is embedded into primary Kubernetes distributions, it has quickly become industry standard technology – a core element of any enterprise observability platform.

Designed with high performance in mind, Fluent Bit is a highly scalable logs and metrics processor. It has rapidly grown in popularity as it enables any organization to effectively manage observability data at scale and receive immediate insight into their systems’ performance.

For context, in order for any IT organization to meet SLAs around availability and security, it must maintain a near real-time understanding of the state of its infrastructure. The challenge has always been how to quickly and efficiently get intelligence out of the mountain of log and event data created across distributed environments in the enterprise.

Fluent Bit, a CNCF-Graduated project under the umbrella of Fluentd, is downloaded between 2-5 million times daily. It is used in production by some of the largest and most complex organizations including AWS Cloud, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, VMware, Cisco, Lyft, LinkedIn, and Walmart.
