Decided to do the testing, it's just checkout of develop branch and

n/p, I use this in unpublished logger. Background process is started
on demand with <( ), which happens when someone logs something with
zflai-log. It stores to SQLite, MySQL, ElasticSearch, plain file. All

negligible duration, that's the point – someone wants MySQL logs but
do not want slowdown.
