> in the work I do in my day job, I print out to STDOUT/STDERR and let the platform wick those lines away to a central firehose.
I think this is the correct approach, but (to the nearest approximation) ~every organization I've worked at that does this has hit saturation limits of "the platform" in extremely short order. Especially if you're doing audit-trail-style logging, in my experience, this becomes the primary bottleneck of your infrastructure very quickly.
