Fluentd Deep Dive
summary
Fluent Bit gains pod-level parsing by honoring the fluentbit.io/parser annotation so a DaemonSet reads /var/log/containers, queries the API for pod annotations, and applies a named parser from parsers.conf regex backend (currently Apache example). Parsers live in config, not per-pod regexes, to avoid compile costs and cluster-wide perf hits; Fluentd will get the feature later. Use filesystem buffering, the DB file to resume positions after restarts, JEMalloc to reduce fragmentation, and note ~700 Fluentd vs ~45 Fluent Bit plugins.
