- 2Logging is disabled automatically during load tests
- 3At high RPS, logs and traces can use real CPU, I/O and money
Show the answer
Correct answer: At high RPS, logs and traces can use real CPU, I/O and money
Explanation
Debug logging or 100% trace sampling may itself become a bottleneck or cost spike. Use production sampling settings.
