Vector is an [open-source][urls.vector_repo] utility for building observability
pipelines. [Collect][docs.sources], [transform][docs.transforms], and
[route][docs.sinks] log, metrics and events with one simple tool.

Built in [Rust][urls.rust], Vector places high-value on
[performance][pages.index#performance], [correctness][pages.index#correctness],
and [operator friendliness][docs.administration]. It compiles to a single static
binary and is designed to be [deployed][docs.deployment] across your entire
infrastructure, serving as a light-weight [daemon][docs.strategies#daemon],
[sidecar][docs.strategies#sidecar], or highly efficient
[service][docs.strategies#service]. Take back ownership and control of your
observability data with Vector.
