Is there a way to avoid passing the UTC offset?

We can obtain the local timezone using the time library, but it's not compatible with async functions. The solution is to utilize tracing-subscriber with its with_timer() method, which is designed to work seamlessly with chrono.

Fortunately, there's already a pull request that addresses this issue, and it has been merged. tokio-rs/tracing#2690

Now, all that's left is to wait for the release.

After a long wait, finally, I can get rid of hardcoded UTC timezone in env files, thanks to the new chrono support in tracing-subscriber.
