Operations at the Edge

Processing, analyzing, and acting on observability data all within your own environment is a new architecture that is cheap, fast, fault tolerant, and secure.

Your infrastructure

Shoreline Software’s modern architecture supports all major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. To enable operations at the edge, efficient and non-intrusive processes, called agents, run in the background of all monitored hosts.

Agents run as a DaemonSet or StatefulSet on Kubernetes or as an installed package on VMs (apt, yum)

The Shoreline backend is typically hosted by Shoreline in AWS, but can also be deployed in your AWS virtual private cloud

Agent footprints are 250MB of RAM and 1/4 core

Benefits of operating at the edge

Processing at the edge dramatically reduces network transport and storage costs, as well as network latency. In the event of a network outage, the system can keep checking for monitors in alarm, while saving data to be sent later.

Importantly, the approach is also inherently secure, since no credentials leave your environment and no inbound network access is needed.

Shoreline’s architecture gets the important stuff right

Starting with a strong foundation for security, reliability, and safety, Shoreline’s architecture also offers the flexibility to meet your cloud business needs. Want to install the back end in your own environment? No problem. Need to deploy across multiple cloud providers? Of course, you can.
