Log Anything vs Log Everything

Log Everything vs. Log Anything ⚡️

https://last9.io/blog/log-anything-vs-log-everything/

Log Everything:

  • Structured, consistent logging across services
  • High-cardinality data that adds context
  • Events that tell a story about system behavior

Fine wine, complex yet clear. Helps future you debug at 3 AM.

Log Anything:

  • Random console.log("here") sprinkled like confetti
  • Unstructured text that's a pain to parse
  • Non-thoughtful severity levels.

Mystery juice, might be tasty, might be toxic. Future you curses past you at 3 AM.
