Datalust Seq

What is it?

Datalust Seq is a log management and observability tool built specifically for structured logging. It provides a powerful query language and visual interface to analyze logs generated by modern applications.

What does it do?

Seq collects logs from multiple services, indexes them in real time, and allows teams to search, filter, and correlate events quickly. It helps identify errors, performance bottlenecks, and abnormal behaviors across systems.

Where is it used?

Seq is commonly used in backend systems, microservices architectures, APIs, and enterprise applications—especially within .NET ecosystems—for debugging, monitoring, and operational insights.

When & why it emerged

Seq was created to address the growing complexity of distributed systems and the limitations of traditional text-based logs. It emerged as a structured logging solution to make logs actionable rather than just stored.

Why we use it at Internative

We use Datalust Seq to gain deep visibility into application behavior across environments. It enables faster debugging, better operational awareness, and more reliable production systems.
