Logging in Microservices with Node.js

When working with microservices architecture and Node.js, it is important to enable and check logs.

We’ll start this chapter by understanding the core concepts of logging in microservices with Node.js. Logging is a critical aspect of microservices architecture, providing valuable insights into behavior, performance, and issues within a distributed system. In Node.js microservices, various logging techniques and libraries are employed to capture relevant information and robust logging systems for your Node.js microservices.

In a microservices architecture, logging plays a crucial role. Let me summarize what happens when there is no proper logging:

• Lack of visibility: Without logging, it becomes challenging to track and understand what’s happening within individual microservices. You won’t have insights into their behavior, events, or transactions.
• Troubleshooting difficulties: When issues arise, troubleshooting...
