# Introduction

Nimbus helps companies reduce datadog costs by 60% or more. Our data optimization pipeline analyzes telemetry and aggregates it in flight to reduce your volume without dropping data.

## How it works

Nimbus analyzes all your logs and finds high volume log patterns based on incoming data. From these patterns, Nimbus generates optimizations that aggregate related logs into a single event.

We refer to this style of transformation as **lossless aggregation**. You can see an example of how this works below.

In this case, we've reduced log event volume by 4X by grouping all logs that refer to the same transaction into one event.

To see what this looks like in practice, watch our demo!
