In isolation (just our logging product), Loki is comparable. It would be interesting to do a benchmark on Loki and see what a comparison looks like. Beyond logging, we do session replay and error monitoring and tie all of these things together.
I think what matters is the interface. A clean interface to read structured logs in table view than throw raw text at the user like many products do and nice way to filter them.
Loki + Grafana isn't really good for log viewing at all. I use Metabase to read logs sent to ClickHouse which gives far nicer interface.
I gotta say the (new) keycloak operator is super basic and doesn't really support changes in image tag. it always assumes a keycloak upgrade and will automatically scale down your keycloak to 1 instance to do an "upgrade". of course this will overload that one node, it will crash, and all your sessions are gone.
I'm not sure if anybody is actually using keycloak & kc-operator in production on kubernetes.
the state of the documentation and guides make it look like it's an abandoned product.
this is such a clusterfuck... and the circleci api doesn't even allow to automate most of the steps. and the ones that should work, error with "internal server error".
of course, support is completely unresponsive
