Metrics sample rate yes but logging sample? When an end-to-end transaction for a very important task breaks, do I get *some* breadcrumbs to debug it?

I have used that approach before with sentry. It was a non-issue. It depends on nature of the project of course, we had a system that was running every second so if it failed it generated a lot of data..

I agree. Sampling logs.. sounds dangerous. Obviously every system is different.

At least in GCP you can apply a filter to prevent ingestion and set different expiries on log budgets. This can help control costs without missing important entries.

Sampling can be smart, e.g. based on some field all events have (can be called traceId, haha).
