README
[!IMPORTANT] ChronoLog MCP is now available. Integrate ChronoLog directly with LLMs through our new MCP server for real-time logging, event processing, and structured interactions.
Code - Documentation
Overview
ChronoLog is a distributed, tiered shared log storage system that provides scalable log storage with time-based data ordering and total log ordering guarantees. By leveraging physical time for data distribution and utilizing multiple storage tiers for elastic capacity scaling, ChronoLog eliminates the need for a central sequencer while maintaining high performance and scalability.
The system's modular, plugin-based architecture serves as a foundation for building scalable applications, including SQL-like query engines, streaming processors, log-based key-value stores, and machine learning integration modules.
Key Features
ChronoLog is built on four foundational pillars:
-
Time-Structured Ingestion — Events are chunked and organized by physical time, enabling high-throughput parallel writes without a central sequencer.
-
Tiered & Efficient Storage — StoryChunks flow across fast and scalable storage tiers, automatically balancing performance and capacity.
-
Concurrent Access at Scale — Multi-writer, multi-reader support with zero coordination overhead, optimized for both RDMA and TCP networks.
-
Modular, Extensible Serving Layer — Plugin-based architecture enables custom services to run directly on the log, supporting diverse application requirements.
Use Cases
ChronoLog's flexible architecture supports a wide range of applications:
-
AI & LLM Integration — MCP server for seamless LLM integration with enterprise logging and real-time event processing.
-
Machine Learning & Training — TensorFlow module for training and inference workflows using time-ordered data streams.
-
SQL-like Query Engine — Query and analyze log data with SQL semantics and time-based distribution.
-
Streaming Processor — Real-time event processing and analytics for monitoring, alerting, and data pipelines.
-
Log-based Key-Value Store — Distributed key-value stores with strong consistency guarantees.
