In Pino terminology, we call all log processors "transports" and recommend that the transports be run in a worker thread using our `pino.transport` API. For more details see our [Transports⇗](docs/transports.md) document. ### Low overhead Using minimum resources for logging is very important. Log messages tend to get added over time and this can lead to a throttling effect on applications – such as reduced requests per second. In many cases, Pino is over 5x faster than alternatives. See the [Benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md) document for comparisons. ### Bundling support Pino supports being bundled using tools like webpack or esbuild. See [Bundling](docs/bundling.md) document for more information. ## The Team ### Matteo Collina ### David Mark Clements ### James Sumners ### Thomas Watson Steen ## Contributing Pino is an **OPEN Open Source Project**.
