Im my experience, if your logs are growing that fast for a reason, you’ll get to see it again… and again… and again. And show it to people going, “WTF, have you ever seen anything like this before?”
In my case docker didn’t have a default max size that logs would stop at, so they just grew and grew exponentially. I also had the highest log level turned on to debug something so it was constantly logging a bunch of data.

Built a centralized logging system to handle logging like this. Fun project but very much the result of bad logging hygiene.

Are logging the content of your log files?

You’ll also have management breathing down your neck about the costs if it’s not absolutely necessary.
