Bring your Python logic into the pipeline and act on data at the point of ingest
The wrong place to think
Most telemetry systems are built to move data, not act on it. Events get shipped downstream, enriched later, and analyzed once the context has already faded. By the time alerts are generated or insights are surfaced, it’s often too late to respond meaningfully. The traditional approach assumes that value lives at the destination. But in reality, the best place to decide what matters is at the very beginning—when data first arrives.
Logic where it belongs
BYOCode (Bring Your Own Code) lets engineers write and execute Python functions directly in-stream. The code runs in real-time, inline with telemetry, as events are ingested. This enables teams to take action while the data is still fresh and relevant.
With BYOCode, you can go beyond predefined actions and introduce custom logic tailored to your environment. That means you can:
Add logic that’s often scattered across services or embedded in applications, and consolidate directly into the pipeline
Run ad-hoc detection logic before SIEM ingestion
Scale custom logic horizontally without impacting primary pipelines or shared infrastructure
Normalize obscure or non-standard formats that fall outside typical schema transformation tools
Filter or reroute telemetry using logic that accounts for business context, not just static field values
BYOCode is deployed as part of the stream itself. It removes the need for external enrichers or preprocessing services and shifts key logic upstream, reducing reliance on slower post-ingest workflows.
Shift left without adding complexity
Most teams today rely on out-of-band services to enrich, filter, or transform telemetry. These services are brittle, hard to scale, and often add latency to critical detection workflows. BYOCode offers a simpler, faster alternative. By moving decision logic upstream, teams reduce pressure on downstream systems, eliminate redundant processing, and gain visibility into their data earlier in the flow.
This doesn’t mean post-ingest logic goes away entirely. But it does mean you can stop doing the wrong work in the wrong place—and start shaping your data where it matters most.
