What logging service do you use and how much $ do you pay?

Hi! For those of you whose apps have a backend running on heroku or AWS, etc. what do you do for logging and how much $ do you pay for it?

    I use LogDNA. They have volume based pricing, where cheapest tier starts at $1.50/GB with the minimum monthly charge of $3. There are some nice features like automatic field parsing, which you can set up on any format of logs and archiving to cloud storage of your choice.

      LogDNA is great if you just need a simple stream to view and filter your logs. Way better than papertrail, in my opinion.

      I've mostly switched to Datadog so I can have all my monitoring in a single system (logs, APM, custom metrics, alerts, probably other things I still haven't found).

      edit: also, I switched to Datadog because I have a bunch of credits :)

    I use https://sentry.io/ for logging exceptions. We used to pay (the basic plan, forgot how much), then decided the free version is enough until our product really scales up.

    I’ve used CloudWatch logs in the past. The whole platform was hosted on AWS so it was easy and setup agents and get logs, the interface is also ok and works well with JSON-based log files.

    I use Elasticsearch and Kibana, hosted in Docker, with search guard in front of it for Auth.
