LogSync

LogSync

A logSync is a named collection of entries in structured log format. In Cloud Logging, structured logs refer to log entries that use the jsonPayload field to add structure to their payloads. In most GCP environments, like GKE and Cloud Functions, structured logs written to process.stdout are automatically picked up and formatted by logging agents.

Recommended for Serverless environment logging, especially where async log calls made by the Log class can be dropped by the CPU.
