New features and improvements to Pipestack.
A customer asked to access their logs programmatically. Up until last week, I had an Open Telemetry Collector and self-hosted Loki, Tempo, Prometheus, and Grafana instances. This was all secured in a private network with no access to the public domain.
I had two options to approach the customer's request:
I opted to outsource it to HyperDX, which was acquired by ClickHouse. So after reading up on all that, I decided to ask for private access to the ClickStack product and migrated over to that. It was as easy as updating my Open Telemetry Collector config and changing my code to fetch logs from the ClickHouse database directly rather than the self-hosted Loki instance.
