Multiple Logs for Resiliency

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses strategies for ensuring redundant logs in case of network failures or other unexpected events. It suggests two approaches: logging to multiple places and using a custom log shipper. Logging to multiple places involves having the primary application write to a separate log file in addition to standard out, while using a custom log shipper entails subscribing directly to NATS and processing log entries yourself. Both strategies aim to provide additional layers of protection for crucial log data.
