Why FIG?

For a small Kubernetes cluster, I needed a minimal dashboard where logs from all the running applications in the Kubernetes environment can be viewed or greped from one place. I thought about ELK (Elastic + Logstash + Kibana) first, but then I realized my small cluster has a config of only 2 nodes with a total 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM, which wouldn’t be a wise option for Elastic to run since it requires more resources to run smoothly. I wanted to use as few resources as possible to have the logging architecture setup.
