"A breakpoint for logging is usually scalability, because they are expensive to store and index."

I hope 2024 is the year where we realize that if we make the log levels dynamically update-able we can have our cake and eat it too. We feel stuck in a world where all logging is either useless bc it's off or on and expensive. All you need is a way to easily modify log level off without restarting and this gets a lot better.

That's probably true for some uses of logging, but for information about historical events you're stuck with whatever information you get from the log level you had in the past.
