Not only does stdout allow you to use native tools such as `journalctl`
or `kubectl` out of the box, log aggregation is a completely solved
problem in this workflow and is trivial to implement.
That being said, persisting logs to disk in a binary format has its
merits. Personally, I don't think plain text logs scale all that well.
Plaintext logs scale horribly. When you have servers processing hundreds
of thousands to millions of queries/sec, you have to rotate log files
pretty frequently otherwise your disks get filled.
The issue I found, at least with journald, is it deadlocks when subjected
to millions of queries/sec environments.
