Log-Centric Intelligence: Enabling Real-Time Compliance O11y
summary
Argues that treating structured application logs as the primary intelligence layer — via a wrapper library that auto-instruments services, injects correlation ID on every business event, and ships through a non‑blocking ring buffer + background workers and decoupled injection pipeline — eliminates database joins, runs at 200–500 ns per insert with <1 µs overhead, scales to 1 million events/sec (≈86B/day), cuts MTTR from ~45 to ~10 minutes (example incident 3 min vs 54 min), and supports masking, RBAC and LLM-safe summaries.
