Logging24

by @Drahflow

Continuing to work on a high-performance observability / log analysis SaaS: https://logging24.com/landing_a/ The basic idea is to make Regex-scans so fast/cheap that "a metric" can be anything numeric in the text and "tracing" is useless because you can just log (and filter) more things. Turns out Regex at >200GB/s solves a lot of problems. Metric cardinality explosion is immediately a non-issue, histograms have arbitrary resolution, and you can get from histogram pixels back to the underlying logs. And no need to instrument everything thrice for logs, metrics and traces. The next big feature I'm aiming for is needle-in-a-haystack searches. The data block headers support it already, but the scan engine doesn't yet use it.
