I have been creating a bot using Node and would love to have a cloud-based logging solution to store my logs (since Fly.io monitoring isn’t the greatest and doesn’t store logs more than ~100 at a time). So far, I’ve looked at:

Sadly, all of these require a business email.

Since I’m doing a small personal project, I don’t quite have one and I would prefer not to have to get one. I would also prefer the logging service be as simple as possible - this is a very small project and isn’t customer-facing, so it really only needs the logging features (stuff like metrics are not needed and I’m handling exception logging with Sentry).

Lastly, it would be cool if it was cheap / free!

Thank you!

    Why would you need specifically “cloud” logging for that? Spinning up grafana and loki is rather trivial in the modern containerized world and that’d cover 90% of what you want from logs. Neither is a resource hog, too, it’s so much better that e.g. the ELK stack for logs that you only look through occasionally.

      Thank you for this advice. I actually ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you again, though!
