Handling logging messages

Effectively managing logs in application development not only aids in identifying errors promptly but also provides valuable insights into user interactions, system performance, and potential security threats. It serves as a crucial tool for auditing, compliance, and optimizing resource utilization, ultimately enhancing the reliability and scalability of the software.

This recipe will show how to efficiently implement a logging system into our FastAPI application to monitor the calls to the API.

Getting ready

We are going to use some basic features of the Python logging ecosystem.

Although the example is basic, you can refer to the official documentation to get familiar with related terms such as logger, handler , formatter, and log level. Follow this link:

To implement logging into FastAPI, make sure you have a running application or use the protoapp we developed all along the chapter...
