# What is Fluent Bit?

[Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io) is an open source telemetry agent specifically
designed to efficiently handle the challenges of collecting and processing telemetry
data across a wide range of environments, from constrained systems to complex cloud
infrastructures. Managing telemetry data from various sources and formats can be a
constant challenge, particularly when performance is a critical factor.

Rather than serving as a drop-in replacement, Fluent Bit enhances the observability
strategy for your infrastructure by adapting and optimizing your existing logging
layer, and adding metrics and traces processing. Fluent Bit supports a
vendor-neutral approach, seamlessly integrating with other ecosystems such as
Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Trusted by major cloud providers, banks, and companies
in need of a ready-to-use telemetry agent solution, Fluent Bit effectively manages
diverse data sources and formats while maintaining optimal performance and keeping
resource consumption low.

Fluent Bit can be deployed as an edge agent for localized telemetry data handling or
utilized as a central aggregator/collector for managing telemetry data across
multiple sources and environments.
