Looks neat, but in what way is this serverless? It's a pretty complex diagram: https://github.com/matanolabs/matano/blob/main/website/src/a...

There's no servers to maintain in the entire architecture, we heavily use Lambda and even use MSK serverless for Kafka.

I am pretty sure they are saying is that the matano portion of it, which does the security log processing, deploys in a serverless fashion (lambda I assume?).

This means as a dev you don’t need to maintain a server, or even container image, you just deploy the code, which is less maintenance overhead and more scalable.

The diagram just shows how it interacts with the other components of the log pipeline.

Thanks for explaining! Yep, that's what we mean. We use serverless services like S3, Lambda, Athena, MSK Serverless, Firehose so you don't have to maintain any servers.

I'm going to regret asking this, but what the hell is a "security lake"? A collection of audit logs?

Its a data lake in which you store security logs. That includes Cloud/SaaS audit logs, network security logs (Zeek, Suricata, Snort), VPN/Firewall logs, and more.
