 # Fluentd & Fluent Bit
 
-Logging and data processing in general can be complex, and at scale a bit more, that's why [Fluentd](https://www.fluentd.org) was born. Fluentd has become more than a simple tool, it has grown into a fullscale ecosystem that contains SDKs for different languages and sub-projects like [Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io).

Fluentd has become more than a simple tool, it has grown into a fullscale ecosystem that contains SDKs for different languages and sub-projects like [Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io).
 
 On this page, we will describe the relationship between the [Fluentd](http://fluentd.org) and [Fluent Bit](http://fluentbit.io) open source projects, as a summary we can say both are:
 
 * Licensed under the terms of Apache License v2.0
-* Hosted projects by the [Cloud Native Computing Foundation \(CNCF\)](https://cncf.io)
-* Production Grade solutions: deployed **thousands** of times every single day, **millions** per **month**.
-* Community driven projects
-* Widely Adopted by the Industry: trusted by all major companies like AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud and hundred of others.
-* Originally created by [Treasure Data](https://www.treasuredata.com). 
+* **Graduated** Hosted projects by the [Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)](https://cncf.io)
+* Production Grade solutions: deployed **million** of times every single day.
+* **Vendor neutral** and community driven projects
+* Widely Adopted by the Industry: trusted by all major companies like AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud and hundreds of others.
 
 Both projects share a lot of similarities, [Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io) is fully designed and built on top of the best ideas of [Fluentd](https://www.fluentd.org) architecture and general design. Choosing which one to use depends on the end-user needs.
 
-The following table describes a comparison in different areas of the projects:
-
-|  | Fluentd | Fluent Bit |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| Scope | Containers / Servers | Embedded Linux / Containers / Servers |
-| Language | C & Ruby | C |
-| Memory | ~40MB | ~650KB |
-| Performance | High Performance | High Performance |
-| Dependencies | Built as a Ruby Gem, it requires a certain number of gems. | Zero dependencies, unless some special plugin requires them. |
-| Plugins | More than 1000 plugins available | Around 70 plugins available |
-| License | [Apache License v2.0](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) | [Apache License v2.0](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) |
-
-Both [Fluentd](https://www.fluentd.org) and [Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io) can work as Aggregators or Forwarders, they both can complement each other or use them as standalone solutions.

+In the recent years, Cloud Providers switched from Fluentd to Fluent Bit for performance and compatibility reasons. Fluent Bit is now considered the **next generation** solution.
