# Base components

During extensive research and experiences from the past, the following software-stacks have been selected as the preferred components to build the new solution.

- Vector ([https://vector.dev](https://vector.dev)) As the core log-management core.
- Kafka as an high-speed buffering solution
- OpenSearch for core data-lake, metrics and dashboarding and datalake alternative
- Ansible (deployer for configuration and setup)

Other packages will be selected depending on need or to handle specific use-cases.
