Implement Structured Logging System

[snobbee]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Establishing a solid logging foundation is crucial for observability and debugging. Without structured logging, it becomes challenging to analyze logs effectively and correlate events across the application.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose implementing a structured logging framework that:

• Uses JSON format for all logs to ensure consistency and ease of parsing.
• Includes standard fields such as timestamp, severity, and correlation ID.
• Supports context injection to provide additional information about the application state.
• Offers different log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) to control the verbosity of logs.
• Allows the addition of custom fields tailored to our application's needs.
• Incorporates performance logging utilities to monitor system health.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Relying on plain text logs which can be cumbersome to analyze.
• Manual JSON formatting for logs, which can introduce errors.
• Utilizing third-party Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools without robust logging practices in place.

Additional context

Implementing structured logging will greatly enhance our ability to debug issues, monitor application performance, and maintain a clear understanding of application behavior over time. It sets a solid groundwork for future observability initiatives.
