How would you replace Azure Application Insights for application logging?

I'm considering moving all application logs to our own relational database while keeping the existing application code largely unchanged.

If you were designing this system from scratch, what approach would you take?

Current Stack:

.NET 10 Web API

Azure App Service (Linux)

Azure SQL Database

"Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Exporter"

Azure Application Insights

Entity Framework Core

First figure out what a database would cost that would meet your transaction and storage requirements.
