What is DataStream and how does it function? DataStream is a platform that enhances the reliability of services and provides a detailed analysis of CDN performance using log data on a large scale. It offers a rapid understanding of CDN performance and allows for the investigation of issues and adjustments through actionable analytics. Real-time monitoring of performance, offload, CDN health, errors, and latency is possible. By analyzing logs and utilizing third-party endpoint support, valuable insights into CDN performance can be gained. DataStream regularly sends complete log data to analytics providers and public cloud endpoints. On the Akamai edge platform, nearly all log data is transmitted within minutes of action. Log data can be sent to Datadog, AWS S3, Splunk, and Azure Blob through self-service settings. Akamai enables the expansion of cloud infrastructure capabilities while improving operational efficiency and providing closer proximity to users. It offers protection against attacks without compromising performance and allows for the deployment and execution of code at the edge, only milliseconds away from users.
