This is a good point. For me, this looked like logging to a ringbuffer and then dumping that log with an associated error report when an exception occoured. was good enough for 99% of the errors i debugged, and we never actually needed a log-shipping solution. Logs were kept on disk and requested to be uploaded on demand when investigating specific issues. it depends on what kind of startup u are in, what kind of product you ship, what kind of user base you have, what kind of solution you have. if you cobble together a set of SaaS solutions, ETL will be your integration challenge.
