About this session
How do you manage logging at petabyte scale? In this session, Infrastructure Software Engineer Chris Hodges shares hard-won lessons from scaling Grafana Loki to manage multi-petabyte unstructured logs for 1,000+ services at Dropbox. Learn how his team evolved a single distributed Loki cluster into a reliable petabyte-scale logging platform while balancing developer needs and operational realities. Strategies to operationalize Loki at enterprise scale will be presented, including multi-tenancy guardrails, label cardinality containment, runtime kill switches, limit configuration, and multihoming.
