Engineering teams are generating more log data than ever — but most of it never gets used. Instead of providing clarity, logs are overwhelming systems, inflating costs, and slowing down incident response.

Traditional log tools weren’t built for today’s cloud-native scale. As a result, teams struggle with noise, rising storage bills, and delayed troubleshooting when every second matters.

This guide reveals why logs are spiraling out of control and how modern teams are taking back control — cutting unnecessary data, improving signal quality, and reducing logging costs by over 50%.
