2 years ago I would suggest we follow the guidelines of: https://12factor.net/, and just log message to stdout. On a modern cloud environment, our service will be run in a container, and external systems will managing logging all of the services. Even systemd now expects logging to just be done to stdout.
Access requests to the REST API should be logged to detect malicious connections, such as too many requests in too short a duration of time, and just to trace use of the various endpoints.
