Logging and debugging tools
In this section, we’re going to explore logging and debugging tools that will help us in our everyday work to find solutions to software application bugs faster.
Logging in microservices
Logging is a crucial aspect of microservices architecture, providing insights into the behavior, performance, and errors within the system.
Here are the key aspects of logging in microservices:
- Centralized logging: Utilize centralized logging systems such as ELK Stack or Fluentd to aggregate logs from various microservices. Centralized logging simplifies troubleshooting by providing a unified view of application behavior.
- Structured logging: Implement structured logging where log messages are in a standardized format (JSON or key-value pairs). Structured logs are easier to analyze and can be efficiently processed by log aggregation systems.
- Log levels: Use different log levels (
info,warn,error,debug, and so on) to categorize log messages...
