What are your favorite cloud-based logging providers which do not require a business email to sign up? (kbin.run)

I have been creating a bot using Node and would love to have a cloud-based logging solution to store my logs (since Fly.io monitoring isn't the greatest and doesn't store logs more than ~100 at a time). So far, I've looked at:

  • Coralogix
  • Logz.io
  • Sumo Logic

Sadly, all of these require a business email.

Since I'm doing a small personal project, I don't quite have one and I would prefer not to have to get one. I would also prefer the logging service be as simple as possible - this is a very small project and isn't customer-facing, so it really only needs the logging features (stuff like metrics are not needed and I'm handling exception logging with Sentry).

Lastly, it would be cool if it was cheap / free!

Thank you!

Have these services actually turned you down? Usually this is a marketing thing where they prefer work email on forms to assess commercial opportunity, but I’d be surprised if they refuse a personal email.

Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won't let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension

Buying a domain that includes email would probably work, or just getting a less commonly used email service. Fastmail is good and has many alternative domains.
