Welcoming the Apache Flume Team to Apache Logging Services

We are excited to announce that Apache Flume is now a part of our Logging Services family. Flume is renowned for its distributed, reliable, and available service, specializing in efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large volumes of log data.

The journey of Flume has been remarkable. Unfortunately, the Flume team had struggles with growing and remained a small team. Still, they caught the attention of several Logging Services committers. Impressed by its capabilities and potential, both the Flume community and our team saw a unique opportunity for collaboration and bringing two small teams together.

A Unified Force in Logging

This integration is more than just a merger of two services; it’s the coming together of like-minded communities aiming for excellence in logging solutions. The decision to merge was driven by our shared vision of offering robust, scalable, and efficient logging services.

Extending Our Portfolio

Flume’s addition significantly extends our own Logging portfolio. Its unique approach to handling large-scale log data complements our existing solutions, creating a more comprehensive suite of tools for our users.

Looking Forward

Plans are already underway to push Flume to a new release, one that incorporates our combined expertise and the latest in logging technology.

Free and Open Source, Apache License
