1) is there any talk of breaking changes on the road to 1.0?
2) are there any articles about lessons learned from the Timber folks about running Vector at scale?
1) Not currently, but it's certainly possible. We don't foresee any major fundamental changes. The most likely change is around transforming. Specifically, how you shape both log and metrics data structures. Right now it's a little too piecemeal and we hope to provide ways to consolidate that more. For example, we have a transform for adding, removing, renaming, and coercing fields. We'll probably introduce a single transform to support that or think about ways to support schemas. 2) Yep! We're organizing our content and education strategy to start sharing this information. Expect to see high-quality guides, blog posts, and comparisons in the next 6-12 months.
Hope that helps!
