Today, QuantConnect has Console, Debug and Log functions, which are powerful and useful features for debugging and tracking your code logic.

What if you could log data in tabular format to an external data store? Think AWS, Azure or Google Cloud databases. Or perhaps Google Sheets, Excel and Airtable. Or, an external data store for logging.

Data in tabular format can be analyzed in multitude of ways.

This would offload the constraints of using QuantConnect storage. Although, it might move customers away from paying more for QuantConnect's storage for bigger logs so it might be contrary to QuantConnect's business model.

I know there's an example of using an external data source to pull data into a QuantConnect algorithm (see below). I wonder if there's a way to push data externally from a QuantConnect algorithm.
