Lunch + Learn, hosted by Scalyr February 27, 2019 San Francisco, CA Guest speaker: Morgan McLean, Google --- Scalyr is the unified observability and log management platform designed for modern application development and deployment practices. Unlike traditional log management tools built for legacy systems, Scalyr is designed to meet the scale and complexity introduced by microservices, orchestration and containers, and the rapid pace of change with continuous software development. Based on a unique data processing and storage architecture and an intuitive user experience, our log management platform is the fastest, simplest and most scalable solution in the industry. With Scalyr, engineering and operations teams can monitor, troubleshoot and solve problems more quickly, easily and cost-effectively than ever before. We have the highest rating in our category in G2 Crowd, are a Gartner 2018 Cool Vendor and are recognized as a Forbes Cloud 100 Rising Star.
