Gardener, SAP's Kubernetes-as-a-service open source project, is moving its logging stack to Loki

Gardener, an open-source Kubernetes-as-a-service project by SAP, is transitioning its logging stack to the Loki system to overcome inefficiencies and limitations posed by its previous architecture, which used Fluentd and Elasticsearch. Gardener, which manages thousands of Kubernetes clusters worldwide for SAP and other community users, faced challenges with high resource consumption and complex tracing issues with the former setup. The new logging architecture leverages Fluent Bit and Loki to enhance resource efficiency, scalability, and user experience by integrating logging and monitoring into a unified Grafana interface. This change was inspired by insights gained from KubeCon North America and is currently being tested and implemented, with promising preliminary results, in anticipation of deployment across production environments.
