CloudServices/DataPipeline

Overview

The cloud services data pipeline ingests data for analysis, monitoring and reporting. The pipeline is currently used for processing cloud services server logs. We're in the process of improving it to support desktop and device telemetry data. The data pipeline team also works on Heka (a major component of the pipeline implementation), custom dashboards for cloud services projects, and the Telemetry server.
