 ## Status
 
-PgCat is stable and used in production to serve hundreds of thousands of queries per second. Some features remain experimental and are being actively developed. They are optional and can be enabled through configuration.

-// This is a special kind of logger that allows sending logs to different

-//
-// By default, if nothing is set, it acts as a regular env_log logger,
-// it sends everything to standard error.
-//
-// If the Env variable `STDOUT_LOG` is defined, it will be used for
-// configuring the standard out logger.
-//
-// The behavior is:
-//   - If it is an error, the message is written to standard error.
-//   - If it is not, and it matches the log level of the standard output logger (`STDOUT_LOG` env var), it will be send to standard output.
-//   - If the above is not true, it is sent to the stderr logger that will log it or not depending on the value
-//     of the RUST_LOG env var.
-//
-// So to summarize, if no `STDOUT_LOG` env var is present, the logger is the default logger. If `STDOUT_LOG` is set, everything
-// but errors, that matches the log level set in the `STDOUT_LOG` env var is sent to stdout. You can have also some esoteric configuration
-// where you set `RUST_LOG=debug` and `STDOUT_LOG=info`, in here, erros will go to stderr, warns and infos to stdout and debugs to stderr.
