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

The current logging practices in the repository are insufficient for effective debugging and observability. Without structured logging and proper correlation IDs, it becomes challenging to trace issues and understand application behavior.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose implementing a structured logging framework that:

  • Utilizes JSON format for all logs to maintain consistency.
  • Includes standard fields such as timestamp (in ISO 8601), log level, and correlation ID for tracing requests across services.
  • Supports context injection to provide additional metadata for log entries.
  • Implements various log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) to facilitate filtering based on severity.
  • Allows for adding custom fields that can provide application-specific insights.
  • Integrates performance logging utilities to help monitor system behavior efficiently.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Relying on plain text logs and using grep for searching, which can be inefficient.
  • Manually formatting logs in JSON, which is prone to human error.
  • Using third-party Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools without a standardized logging approach.

Additional context

Implementing these changes will significantly enhance our debugging capabilities, improve system observability, and enable better monitoring of application performance. This aligns with best practices in logging and will provide a solid foundation for future development efforts.
