Fluent Bit + Parquet + DuckDB: Minimal Logging for Tiny K8s Clusters
The blog shows how to build a tiny logging pipeline for small Kubernetes clusters using Fluent Bit to ship logs to S3 as Parquet files and DuckDB to query them. The setup consumes under 100 MiB of memory and runs comfortably on a 3‑node, 4 GB RAM cluster, offering a lightweight alternative to Loki.
