Slack currently uses Elasticsearch as its primary centralized log search platform. At our scale of one petabyte of logs per week, we face three major issues with our cluster: due to large spikes in volume our logs tend to be delayed, limiting our real-time visibility into our systems; we often fail to ingest logs due to field conflicts; and at 50 clusters Elasticsearch is operationally complex.

We built KalDB, a new lucene based cloud-native log store to address the issues we experienced with Elasticsearch. This project prioritizes fresh logs over older during large spikes to maintain real-time visibility, and automatically handles field conflicts by employing a schema on read. The cloud-native aggregator/leaf/tailer architecture enables first-class support for Kubernetes, and employs techniques like S3 backed storage to reduce infrastructure cost and automate operations.
