The Hoot from Humio

The Hoot - Episode 38 - Humio at Lunar with Kasper Nissen


Listen Later

In this week’s podcast we have a conversation with Kasper Nissen, Site Reliability Engineer at Lunar, about his experience with the new Humio Operator for Kubernetes

Lunar is a Nordic bank with more than 200,000 users in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Lunar seeks to change banking for the better so that its users can control their spending, save smarter and make their money grow. Born in the cloud, Lunar uses technology to react swiftly to user needs and expectations.

Previously on The Hoot, Kasper introduced us to Lunar’s cloud-native environment, and what it took to make the environment at this innovative fintech startup reliable and secure. The platform is built entirely as a cloud-native app hosted in AWS. Lunar uses Humio to achieve observability into what is happening in all parts of the environment, so they log everything they can from the cloud. 

Currently, Kasper is in the process of centralizing log management on a cluster in Lunar’s Kubernetes environment. He’s using the new Humio Operator to simplify the process of creating and running Humio in Kubernetes. 

“Running Humio with the Operator is so much easier because it minimizes the operational overhead of running Humio in Kubernetes. The Operator also provides us with a distributed set up out of the box, which is awesome, especially now that we can push the burden of managing Kafka and Zookeeper, which are notoriously difficult systems to run, to the cloud provider.”
