&gt; in the work I do in my day job, I print out to STDOUT&#x2F;STDERR and let the platform wick those lines away to a central firehose.<p>I think this is the correct approach, but (to the nearest approximation) ~every organization I&#x27;ve worked at that does this has hit saturation limits of &quot;the platform&quot; in extremely short order. Especially if you&#x27;re doing audit-trail-style logging, in my experience, this becomes the primary bottleneck of your infrastructure very quickly.
