Comment on Scaling request logging with ClickHouse, Kafka, and Vector

Comments

can you just buffer some writes in Vector and eliminate Kafka?

I setup some Vector to buffer ElasticSearch writes years ago, also for logs, it ran so well without any problems that I almost fogot about it.

Or vice versa: make ClickHouse ingest batches directly from Kafka. Messages are already buffered in Kafka, I don't get why Vector is necessary here.

tbh the only thing they needed was a correct schema that didn’t constantly spawn new parts and async_insert enabled.
