We saw this issue manifest multiple times in several shapes and forms, across organizations. -Parseable started because of this _missing_ case. We intend to enrich the ecosystem with a developer friendly, cloud native, event & log observability platform. +Our aim with Parseable is to provide a fully open source, developer friendly, kubernetes and cloud native, scalable, logging and observability platform. ## How it works Parseable exposes REST API to ingest and query log data. Under the hood, it uses Apache Arrow and Parquet to handle and compress high volume log data. All data is stored in S3 (or compatible systems). Parseable also has a bundled web console to visualize and query log data. -Parseable can be deployed in cloud and container based environments in minutes and can scale as the requirements grow. - #### Key differentiators - Written in Rust.
