In 2010, the founders of Sumo Logic made a visionary bet to democratize machine data and logs by creating a real-time analytics solution delivered as a cloud-native service. They believed that logs are the most fundamental and naturally generated artifact of digital computing, providing powerful insights about customers’ cloud infrastructure and applications.
At Sumo Logic, we still hold that belief today. The need to capture, manage, secure, and unleash the value from logs to fix and secure infrastructure and applications is the driving force behind Sumo Logic’s creation and evolution. It’s how we help our customers win.
Why logs?
Logs serve as the "atomic level" of observability and security data. They contain critical information about performance, availability, and security status within critical applications that drive business-critical outcomes. These time-stamped digital records document actions or events and materialize from various sources, such as applications, cloud and application infrastructures, containers, load balancers, networks and servers.
But managing log data isn’t easy. The complexity of modern IT environments, the speed of innovation and organizational silos between developers, IT and security teams have resulted in a massive volume of logs in all forms and sizes — structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. Organizations need a cloud-native analytics platform that can rapidly ingest and analyze all of these logs to create a single source of truth that is critical for modern security and observability use cases.
