Building an efficient logger in Go for hosts with restricted resources

Arenalog: Async Go logging optimized for 1–2 vCPU containers and serverless runtimes.

The Problem: Current loggers are not efficient in hosts with up to two cores

Traditional Go loggers are engineered for macro-scale vertical

concurrency. But what if your service runs in a 1–2 vCPU container? Then aggregate throughput becomes irrelevant. What matters is: how many cycles does one log call take from your business logic?
