replyI assume they meant a log like a WAL. A WAL should be (quite literally?) all you need for durable workflows.

Is it common to use logs as a proxy for write-ahead logs?
replyFolks this is meant to be an honest question, not a snarky comment. I'm not a DBA, I'm DevOps/SRE and logs for me always meant execution logs. I'm just curious if between those involved in database domain logs is used to refer to WAL.
