Reproducible. Beats every alternative.
Published ratios on realistic Kubernetes telemetry and on every public structured-JSON test corpus. Methodology is reproducible — request the bench harness and run it against your own data.
The number every CFO can verify.
Gzip is what every observability tool ships out of the box. We ran the same corpus through both. Sasquatch wins by a factor of 8–12× on realistic Kubernetes telemetry, with full lossless round-trip preservation.

Beats the leading open-source reference.
On every published structured-JSON benchmark corpus, Sasquatch produces a smaller archive than the reference open-source compressor — with full lossless round-trip on every entry.
Numbers above 100% mean Sasquatch produces a smaller archive than the reference on the same input. Methodology and corpora are public — request the comparison harness if you want to run it yourself.
How to reproduce these numbers on your own data.
Every benchmark in this page comes from a script you can run. No marketing-grade asterisks, no “your mileage may vary,” no test environments tuned to flatter the product.
Realistic K8s corpus
- 01Generate 50K events across ~20 pods with realistic K8s metadata
- 02Run the agent end-to-end against the corpus
- 03SHA-256 chain root computed on input + decompressed output
- 04Numbers reported are post-compaction, including overhead
Public structured-JSON corpora
- 01Standard public test corpora (mongod, spark-event-log, cockroachdb, postgresql)
- 02Run the reference open-source compressor and Sasquatch back to back
- 03Compare archive byte sizes and verify decompressed checksums
- 04Reproducer harness available on request
