    Im my experience, if your logs are growing that fast for a reason, you’ll get to see it again… and again… and again. And show it to people going, “WTF, have you ever seen anything like this before?”

      In my case docker didn’t have a default max size that logs would stop at, so they just grew and grew exponentially. I also had the highest log level turned on to debug something so it was constantly logging a bunch of data.

      You’ll also have management breathing down your neck about the costs if it’s not absolutely necessary.

      Built a centralized logging system to handle logging like this. Fun project but very much the result of bad logging hygiene.
