Section 1 of 8 Storage & performance
Why volume matters
Automatic observability is powerful — but unstructured, unbounded logs can grow faster than disk, memory, and human attention. These practices keep ArgusLogs fast in development and safe in production.
- Query recent records — never assume you need the entire history in one response.
- Store hot telemetry in SQLite via TieredStorage instead of giant flat JSONL files.
- Roll older batches to compressed Parquet archives with explicit retention.
- Protect /argus-logs in production — logs contain URLs, user IDs, and payloads.
