For context: That's like a textbook scenario for use non-blocking loggers.

- It's not a financial transaction that requires an airtight audit trail.
- High Throughput expected
- Production environment
- Prone to surges in traffic

The general pattern would be for the async logger to push it to a buffer and let a sidecar (like filebeat) scoop them up for the monitoring pipeline
