Case Study: Sunrun cuts log volume by 70% and saves $200K annually with DataBahn

Sunrun cuts log volume by 70% with DataBahn

Sunrun Inc., America's largest residential solar and battery provider, faced significant challenges managing security telemetry from its rapidly expanding technology footprint. Despite migrating to a new SIEM, the company grappled with slow source onboarding, periodic data spikes that increased licensing costs, and high engineering overhead. To address this, Sunrun partnered with DataBahn to implement its security data pipeline solution for SIEM cost reduction and data control.

DataBahn's solution centralized Sunrun's security data ingestion using over 500 plug-and-play connectors and applied upstream rule-based suppression to filter low-value telemetry. This approach reduced Sunrun's log volume by 70%, resulting in $200K in annual savings from lower licensing and storage costs. The implementation also accelerated source onboarding, freed engineers from manual parsing work, and provided a scalable platform for future security initiatives.
