acknowledgments

This book is my second with Manning and with some of the same team. The writing process took longer than we expected. But I hope you’ll agree that the Manning editorial team’s prodding and encouragement means this book will deliver for you. I want to thank everyone at Manning, particularly development editor Katie Sposato Johnson, acquisitions editor Andrew Waldron, and technical editor Karthik Gaekwad, who have been with me throughout this adventure.

Anurag Gupta and Eduardo Silva Pereira, the founders of Calyptia, who have been at the forefront of Fluentd and Fluent Bit for many years, took time to share their insights and support. Eduardo, who started the Fluent Bit project, also kindly gave his time to write the foreword, for which I’m very grateful. Calyptia employs many Fluent Bit committers, and I’d like to particularly acknowledge fellow Brit Patrick Stephens at Chronosphere, who helped hugely and with whom I’ve collaborated on conference presentations about Fluent Bit.
