Could you build this?
No A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform requires massive, low-latency distributed data ingestion, indexing, and real-time detection rule evaluation across petabytes of logs.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires high-throughput streaming systems (Kafka/Redpanda), columnar or indexing search engines (ClickHouse, OpenSearch), and a real-time rule engine (e.g., Sigma rules compiled to SQL/ASTs). The critical difficulties include multi-tenant high-availability ingestion, schema normalization for hundreds of log formats, and preventing alert fatigue while processing hundreds of thousands of events per second.
