Hey Sean, We looked into a lot of logging solutions and couldn't find a solution that fit our requirements. In particular, 1) at the moment we don't run any servers (even virtualized) ourselves, and we're loving not having to worry about that level of infrastructure. Splunk and most other logging solutions would have required running a VM just for the daemon (either proprietary or syslog). 2) the total cost of developing Mache was significantly less than even a single 500 MB Splunk license. 3) most other solutions that we looked at really want to treat logs as lines of text data. App Engine logs provide more metadata, and we didn't want to lose and have to reconstruct that data.
