Removing Logs Cuts Event Loop Usage
Node.js event loop utilization for one our services went from about 80% to 20% just by removing logs 🤦♂️
A dark-mode social media post shows a monitoring graph for Node.js event loop utilization. The graph drops from roughly 80% to 20% after logs are removed, humorously implying that logging overhead was severely harming performance. It is used as a reaction to surprising production optimizations and avoidable engineering problems.
