Hydrolix Streaming Data Lake

Hydrolix Inc., based in Portland, Oregon, builds a streaming data lake for very high-volume log and event data such as CDN, video streaming, security and bot traffic telemetry. It targets companies that otherwise sample, aggregate or delete data because keeping full-fidelity logs in traditional observability tools is too expensive.

The platform runs on a stateless Kubernetes architecture with storage decoupled from compute, compressing data heavily on object storage while making new records queryable within about 5 to 10 seconds and returning queries in under a second across petabytes. It ships as a platform for any major cloud, as Hydrolix for AWS, and as TrafficPeak, an observability service for Akamai edge customers, with solutions for CDN insights, bot insights and security data. Customers include Fox, TF1, Mux, Elkjop and Navy Federal Credit Union.

• Streaming ingest: New data becomes queryable within about 5 to 10 seconds.
• Decoupled architecture: Stateless Kubernetes compute scales independently from object storage.
• High compression: Full-fidelity retention on low-cost storage with heavy compression.
• CDN and bot insights: Real-time analytics across CDN providers and long-term bot analysis.
• Security data layer: Long-term retention and historical search for security telemetry.
• Tool compatibility: Works with Splunk, Grafana, Kibana, Cribl and Databricks.

A Vietnamese OTT or broadcaster can monitor CDN and player quality in real time during live football matches. An e-commerce platform can analyze bot and scraper traffic across its CDN during mega sales. A bank can keep years of security and access logs searchable for investigations at lower cost than its SIEM.

Companies can keep 100% of their log data for long periods instead of sampling, with the vendor claiming 20x to 50x compression. During Super Bowl LVIII, Fox ingested 200 TB and 55 billion records with a 0.481-second median query time, according to the site. Drop-in compatibility with Splunk, Grafana and Kibana avoids replacing existing tools, and usage-based pricing keeps costs predictable during traffic spikes.

Video streaming, online events and AI bot traffic are multiplying log volumes, while observability vendors charge by ingested data. Organizations increasingly want to keep raw data for AI, security investigations and audits at object storage cost. Media, telecom and e-commerce companies in Southeast Asia that rely on CDNs during major sports events and sales campaigns face the same challenge.
