The text discusses the challenges and costs associated with implementing a logging solution in scaled software systems, emphasizing the financial burden of custom-built solutions and the impact on business operations. It highlights the need for considerable investment in log monitoring and the potential expenses related to cloud infrastructure, staff training, development time, and system downtime. The text underscores the importance of efficient log processing and the risks of inadequate logging solutions, suggesting that an effective logging strategy must balance operational scale with cost control. Coralogix is presented as a solution, offering a TCO Optimizer to reduce logging costs by up to two-thirds by allowing for precise tuning of log processing, thus avoiding the need for expensive and complex engineering projects.
