Software applications are constantly generating logs. These logs are necessary to understand how an application is functioning, and logs are key to debugging. As applications have gotten more complex, logging infrastructure has become complex as well. Storing and managing all of our log data is such a big task that several companies have been started to tackle this problem.

We discuss the elastic log-processing platform Sumo Logic has built to help software engineers with log management. It’s a great conversation about distributed systems, machine learning, and debugging applications.
