Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current logging system lacks structured data and contextual information, making it difficult to trace issues and understand system behavior effectively.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a structured logging framework that:

  • Uses JSON format for all logs
  • Includes standard fields such as timestamp, severity, and correlation IDs
  • Supports context injection for better traceability
  • Provides detailed error logs with stack traces
  • Ensures consistent log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)

Code Example

const logger = require('winston');
logger.createLogger({
  level: 'info',
  format: logger.format.json(),
  transports: [
    new logger.transports.Console(),
    new logger.transports.File({ filename: 'application.log' })
  ]
});
logger.info('User action logged', { userId: 123, action: 'login' });

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using plain text logs with grep, but this approach lacks the structure and context necessary for effective debugging and monitoring.

Additional context

Improving logging practices will enhance the observability of the application, making it easier to diagnose issues and monitor system performance.
