Sunlight is a Certificate Transparency log implementation designed for scalability and ease of operation. Performance testing shows Sunlight can handle up to 5,000 certificates per second with S3 backend and around 4,400/s with POSIX filesystem, making it more efficient with S3 storage than TesseraCT but slightly slower on local storage. The implementation features built-in Prometheus metrics, supports multiple logs in one configuration, and uses SQLite for local caching, reducing operational complexity compared to alternatives.
