Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Log storage in observability has a high cost and the common practice of reducing log volume by discarding data. Lossless Log Aggregation (LLA) is a possible solution, which is a technique that aggregates similar logs to drastically reduce storage needs without losing any data. LLA works by deduplicating common metadata and merging similar logs.
