RapidScale provides a centralized logging solution for Sixth Street
Overview
Founded in 2009, Sixth Street is a global investment firm with over $60 billion in assets under management and more than 400 team members.
As a global investment firm, with a variety of bespoke and commodity off the shelf applications used by customers and employees across the world, Sixth Street faces the difficult challenge of building a cloud presence on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a cohesive approach to application lifecycle management, alerting, monitoring, and logging.
To help build out and maintain Sixth Street’s centralized logging stack, Sixth Street enlisted the cloud-native log analysis service, ChaosSearch. This provided a platform for indexing, searching, and analyzing log data in a scalable and efficient manner.
Outcomes that matter
As a result, the streamlined centralized logging solution saved Sixth Street five hours, per engineer, per week, as well as additional headcount costs, enabling the engineers to focus their efforts on more revenue generating projects. “RapidScale provided an invaluable service when it came to architecting our original deployment to AWS. The architecture guidance helped us shape our account structure for maximum flexibility and maintainability,” said Dutko. “RapidScale continues to work with us through bespoke projects, ad-hoc support requests and professional interactions between our other valued partners like ChaosSearch,” he added.

The challenge
RapidScale, an AWS Premier Partner, deployed a Control Tower account management plane to help ease the burden of Identity and Access Management (IAM), security and operational guardrails, and log aggregation. Although Control Tower aggregates logs for native log data generated by AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config, it does not provide an out of the box solution for application logging. “Log Aggregation is traditionally a difficult problem to solve with minimal resources,” said Adam M. Dutko, Vice President of Cloud Engineering at Sixth Street. “Moving it from a burden on infrastructure and DevOps teams to a seamless and automated process for development teams was our primary goal. We sought partners that understood our operating parameters. This led us to choose RapidScale and ChaosSearch."

The solution
RapidScale designed and implemented a multi-region AWS Control Tower environment for Sixth Street, organized by business unit and development lifecycle (development, test, and production). Building on AWS’s native centralized logging capabilities, RapidScale created an automated, serverless log centralization solution that aggregates application logs across all accounts into a single repository for analysis in ChaosSearch.
The solution eliminates the need for developers or infrastructure teams to manually configure logging and data pipelines for individual applications. By simply applying a tag to a Lambda function’s CloudWatch log group, logs are automatically collected, enriched with metadata, centralized in a secure S3 repository, and ingested into ChaosSearch within minutes.
This automated approach reduces operational overhead, standardizes log management, accelerates troubleshooting and insights, and allows development teams to focus on delivering business-critical applications rather than managing logging infrastructure.
