### AI overview

LivePerson benchmarked five Google Cloud machine types for a high-volume Logstash and Kafka logging pipeline. AMD Milan instances delivered substantially higher throughput and a lower cost per event, while Kafka compression codec selection produced additional performance gains and reduced cluster overhead.

### Source excerpt

LivePerson found that benchmarking Google Cloud machine types cut Logstash costs by over half using AMD Milan instances, while Kafka compression codec selection significantly boosted throughput.
