feat(logging): implement logging strategy and framework #87

Description

@finxo

Summary

Establish a comprehensive logging strategy and implement a logging framework for the application to ensure consistent, structured, and maintainable logging practices across the codebase.

Description

Currently, the application lacks a defined logging proposal and strategy. This issue tracks the research, design, and implementation of an appropriate logging solution that meets our application's needs.

Objectives

  • Research and evaluate logging frameworks/libraries suitable for our tech stack
  • Define logging levels and their appropriate use cases (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
  • Establish logging format standards (structured logging, log rotation, etc.)
  • Determine log storage and retention policies
  • Design logging strategy for different environments (development, staging, production)
  • Implement the chosen logging solution
  • Create documentation and guidelines for developers

Considerations

  • Performance: Minimal impact on application performance
  • Structured Logging: Support for structured/JSON logging for easier parsing and analysis
  • Context: Ability to include contextual information (request IDs, user IDs, etc.)
  • Log Levels: Configurable log levels per environment
  • Integration: Compatibility with log aggregation tools (e.g., ELK Stack, Splunk, CloudWatch)
  • Security: Ensure sensitive data is not logged (PII, credentials, etc.)
  • Rotation: Log rotation and retention policies

Tasks

  • Research available logging frameworks and compare their features
  • Define logging standards and best practices document
  • Create proof of concept with recommended solution
  • Implement logging infrastructure
  • Add logging to critical application paths
  • Set up log aggregation/monitoring (if applicable)
  • Document usage guidelines for the team
  • Conduct team review and training

Acceptance Criteria

  • Logging framework is integrated and operational
  • Documentation is available for developers
  • Logging standards are defined and approved
  • Critical application flows include appropriate logging
  • Logs are accessible and searchable in configured environment(s)
