Agreed. I was actually hoping the article would talk about how to log (buffer, async, files or output stream, etc). I’ve seen at least 2 cases of excessive logging causing outages: One was using log4j zip rollover which blocked all threads in the app causing timeouts, the other was using json in an older android vm which couldn’t cope with all the garbage, causing OOM due to fragmentation (before compacting garbage collector was introduced)
