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

Currently, our logging system lacks consistency and structure, making it difficult to trace issues and understand system behavior. This leads to challenges in debugging and monitoring.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose implementing a structured logging framework that:

  • Utilizes JSON format for all logs to enhance readability and parsing.
  • Incorporates standard fields such as timestamp, severity levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR), and correlation IDs for distributed tracing.
  • Supports context injection to provide meaningful context for each log entry, especially for errors.
  • Implements proper error handling with stack traces to aid in debugging.
  • Allows for log rotation policies and retention periods to manage log storage effectively.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Relying on plain text logs, which are less structured and harder to analyze.
  • Using third-party monitoring tools without integrating logging improvements.

Additional context

This enhancement will significantly improve our ability to monitor the application and diagnose issues. A well-structured logging system will help us maintain better observability, leading to a more robust application overall. Let's ensure our logs tell a clear story about the system's operations!
