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

Implementing a robust logging system is crucial for observability, especially in the early stages of a project. Without proper logging practices, debugging becomes difficult and critical information may be lost.

Describe the solution you'd like

I recommend implementing structured logging which:

  • Uses JSON format for all logs to ensure consistency.
  • Includes standard fields such as timestamps, severity levels, and correlation IDs.
  • Supports context injection to provide meaningful information for each log entry.
  • Maintains different log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) to filter logs based on severity.

Additionally, consider integrating a correlation ID mechanism for tracing requests across your application. This will help in identifying bottlenecks and understanding the flow of execution.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Relying solely on console logs or print statements, which can lead to messy and unstructured output.
  • Using a basic logging framework that lacks the flexibility and features necessary for a modern application.

Additional context

By establishing these logging practices early, we can ensure that the application is easier to maintain and debug. This approach aligns with industry best practices and will help in achieving better observability across the system.
