logbx2

Logbx2 is an open-source logging framework designed to provide high-performance, structured logging for distributed applications. It aims to standardize log data across services and programming languages, enabling efficient collection, correlation, and analysis of logs within modern observability stacks.

Key features include a compact, high-throughput core with pluggable sinks and encoders, support for structured events in JSON or compact binary formats, and support for contextual fields, dynamic log levels, sampling, and batching. The framework emphasizes low latency, backpressure-aware delivery, and the ability to route logs to multiple destinations such as consoles, files, syslog, and cloud logging services.

Architecture and design: logbx2 separates the core logging logic from language bindings. Encoders and sinks are modular, allowing zero-copy encoding and pluggable backends. Context propagation and trace identifiers facilitate end-to-end correlation across microservices. Configuration is designed to be reloadable at runtime to adapt to changing environments.

Usage and ecosystem: Bindings exist for several languages, including Go, Python, JavaScript, and Java. Typical usage involves initializing a logger with a configured sink and emitting structured events with fields such as service, host, version, and trace_id. The project maintains documentation and examples to guide integration and best practices.

History and governance: Logbx2 is developed as a community-led project hosted on a public repository and released under a permissive license. It relies on community contributions, issue tracking, and a code of conduct to guide development and support. The project positions itself as a building block for observable, data-driven operations.
