Apples and oranges.



I don't think it is. These are both logging devices that you look at after the "incident". Sure there are differences, the CI job is likely easier and cheaper to reproduce to get more data, but at the end of the day you want to be able to figure out what happened by looking at the logs.


It's fine to log all the info somewhere, but there's no reason to throw it all into one big chunk and then expect the developer to dig through the data. Especially when it's perfectly possible for the software to produce more structured output in the first place.

Looking for a dependency issue shouldn't be remotely comparable to analyzing an airplane's crash logs in difficulty.


Difference is one will have multiple trained engineers working through the logs to investigate according to a standardised method, the other is one person skimming to work out what dependency is missing (in a repeatable environment).

There must be a better abstraction than here is all the things, have fun.
