Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
For reference, here's my implementation. Note that my wrapper supports both structured and traditional logging APIs.
I think the Go designers were seeing the mess in other platforms (e.g. Java's SLF4J) and just decided not to play that game from the start. I'm sure it was intentional that Go logging is not a pluggable API. I like that Go is opinionated, but there are some opinions I disagree with. This particular opinion was defeatist and guaranteed a mess rather than make even a small effort to make life easier for some if not all. END RANT.
