+<p>
+    Logging is an absolute must for any API or web application, but when starting out, questions such as "how can we do
+    it without disrupting everything else" and "what is the easiest way to log" often come up. We’re going to examine a

+    minimal impact to the performance of your runtime application. The talk will show you that a really great logging
+    architecture is a low-cost investment in your application that will definitely pay off in the long run.
