I am in the middle of moving a small serverless app to dry-web/dry-system, and the current logger logs to STDOUT.  
It would be nice if the default logging plugin allowed for that instead of assuming a log file.

Eventually, dry-system will use dry-logger which will be quite powerful, at least that’s the plan 😄
