logging

Debugging distributed requests is miserable without a stable request id, so I generate it once at the edge, echo it back via x-request-id, and attach it to every log line with a child logger. I keep this intentionally boring because it delivers 80% of

Custom middleware lets me inspect or modify every request and response. I implement both __init__ (called once at startup) and __call__ (for each request). By storing start time in the request, I can measure total processing time including view and te

Production debugging is about logs that are searchable. Emit JSON with consistent keys (requestid, memberid, duration). Even if you later add Lograge, this structure maps cleanly.

If you ever need to hand logs to support, you don’t want secrets in them. Filter params at the framework level; then add custom filters for app-specific fields (API keys, tokens).

Proper logging is critical for production debugging. I configure loggers for different apps and libraries. I use file handlers for persistence and console handlers for development. Log rotation prevents disk fill-up. I set appropriate levels (DEBUG, I

Adding unique request IDs helps trace logs across distributed systems. I generate a UUID for each request and attach it to both the request object and response headers. I also add it to the logging context so all log entries for that request include t
