Are you familiar with the four golden signals of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): latency, traffic, errors, and saturation? Whether you’re a developer or an operator, you’ve likely been responsible for collecting, storing, or analyzing the data associated with these concepts. Much of this data is captured in application and infrastructure logs, which provide a rich history of what is happening behind the scenes in your workloads.

We’re excited to announce the release of a major update to the Google Cloud Python logging library. v3.0.0 makes it even easier for Python developers to send and read logs from Google Cloud, providing real-time insights into what is happening in your application. If you’re a Python developer working with Google Cloud, now is a great time to try out Cloud Logging! If you're unfamiliar with the `google-cloud-logging` library, getting started is simple.
