Guarantees

Guarantees of implementations of logs out of the box:

Errors

If the log events cannot be written for any reason (such as running out of disk space), the library will not throw an exception. Instead, the process will repeat later in the background.

Async input/output

Calling the Log method can't lock the app. Events are added to the buffer. The call to the Log method is always executed instantly. It does not matter whether the event can be recorded somewhere or not.

Bounded memory usage

Implementations are limited in the amount of memory they occupy. The buffer size is customizable.

Log events can be lost!

If the application crashes or it can't send logs for a long time, log events will be lost. We guarantee that one of these fine days this will happen and you lose your logs. And we don't recommend building business processes that depend on log events.
