Logging - jamongx/twitter-clone GitHub Wiki
Logging framework (e.g., SLF4J, Logback) and log aggregation tools, if any (e.g., ELK stack).
Consistency
- Ensure that all microservicesuse consistent log levels and log format.
- This makes it easier to analyze logs when they're consolidated.
Centralized Logging
- Due to the distributed nature of microservices, implementing a centralized logging solution like ELK Stack, Graylog, or AWS CloudWatch Logs is almost a necessity.
- Implement monitoring and logging using AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, etc
Request Tracing
- Implementing a correlation ID for each request can help in tracing how requests travel through different microservices.
- This is particularly useful for debugging and performance optimization.
Environment-Specific Levels
- The log level might need to be dynamically adjusted based on the environment (e.g., Debug for development, Info for production).
Rate Limiting and Log Rotation
- Microservices can generate large volumes of logs.
- Implementing rate limiting and log rotation strategies can help manage the storage of logs efficiently.
Sensitive Information
- Make sure that no sensitive information is being logged, especially at lower log levels.
