I'd like to ask how to best organize AWS CloudWatch log groups for different environments such as
- dev
- staging
- prod
for a microservice architecture such that there exists say 50 microservices, each containing its own context (ex. payment, catalog, shipping, etc)
Variants I can think of for organizing unique and distint log groups are:
- Log Group per Environment per Microservice (150 total when number of environments is 3 and applications is 50)
- Log Group per environment for all microservices (3 total when number of environments is 3)
Are there any other recommended ways of organizing Log Groups? What types of attributes of the overall system should I take into consideration when deciding between these 2 or any others?
The trade off of me doing #1 is that I will have quiet a bit of log groups to maintain, although already prefiltered per app context.
Benefit of me doing #2 is less log groups to maintain overall, and perhaps single experience of obtaining logs per environment?
