As we add more observability signals and points of insight into the software we design, we create more and more data. Data that has to be processed. Data that has to be stored. Data that has to be iterated over and retrieved. All of this increases stress on the system that stores it which naturally increases costs to run the system both in infrastructure, people power and more. This talk takes people through the history of how these volumes have grown over time, then moves into the current strategies and tradeoffs for managing them. It also offers a glimpse into what might come into this space in the future.
