Comment on Fast and flexible observability with canonical log linesparent

Comments

How many columns does the average canonical log entry at Stripe have? What's the mix of low/high cardinality string fields look like vs number of metric/counter fields?

On the order of many dozens of fields and it's a pretty good mix of all of those.

Lots of low cardinality fields, lots of counters and numbers (e.g. request duration), and quite a few high cardinality fields too. e.g. IDs, IPs.
