-# What is Fluent Bit ?
+# What is Fluent Bit?
 
-​[Fluent Bit](http://fluentbit.io/) is an open source and multi-platform log processor tool which aims to be a generic Swiss knife for logs processing and distribution.
 
-Nowadays the number of sources of information in our environments is ever increasing. Handling data collection at scale is complex, and collecting and aggregating diverse data requires a specialized tool that can deal with:
 
-* Different sources of information
-* Different data formats
-* Data Reliability
-* Security
-* Flexible Routing
-* Multiple destinations
+[Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io) is an open-source telemetry agent specifically designed to efficiently handle the challenges of collecting and processing telemetry data across a wide range of environments, from constrained systems to complex cloud infrastructures. Managing telemetry data from various sources and formats can be a constant challenge, particularly when performance is a critical factor.
 
-[Fluent Bit](https://fluentbit.io) has been designed with performance and low resources consumption in mind.
+Rather than serving as a drop-in replacement, Fluent Bit enhances the observability strategy for your infrastructure by adapting and optimizing your existing logging layer, as well as metrics and traces processing. Furthermore, Fluent Bit supports a vendor-neutral approach, seamlessly integrating with other ecosystems such as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Trusted by major cloud providers, banks, and companies in need of a ready-to-use telemetry agent solution, Fluent Bit effectively manages diverse data sources and formats while maintaining optimal performance.
 
+Fluent Bit can be deployed as an edge agent for localized telemetry data handling or utilized as a central aggregator/collector for managing telemetry data across multiple sources and environments.
