Log collector that runs on a $4 VPS
Hey guys, I'm building erlog to try and solve problems with logging. While trying to add logs to my application, I couldn't find any lightweight log platform which was easy to set up without adding tons of dependencies to my code, or configuring 10,000 files. ErLog is just a simple go web server which batch inserts json logs into an sqlite3 server. Through tuning sqlite3 and batching inserts, I find I can get around 8k log insertions/sec which is fast enough for small projects. This is just an MVP, and I plan to add more features once I talk to users. If anyone has any problems with…
In plain words
ErLog is a lightweight log collection platform built as a Go web server that stores JSON logs in SQLite3. It handles approximately 8,000 log insertions per second through batching and optimization, making it suitable for small projects. Designed for developers who need simple logging without heavy dependencies or complex configuration, ErLog runs on minimal infrastructure like a $4 VPS. The project is currently in MVP stage with plans for additional features based on user feedback.
