Implement a Better Logging System

[snobbee]

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

Improving the logging system is crucial for better observability and traceability within the application. Currently, the logging practices may not provide sufficient context or structured information needed for effective debugging and performance analysis.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose implementing a structured logging framework that:

• Uses JSON format for all logs
• Includes standard fields such as timestamp, severity, and correlation ID
• Supports context injection for better insights
• Has various log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) to categorize logs effectively
• Allows adding custom fields for specific use cases

Additionally, integrating correlation IDs would enhance our ability to trace requests across multiple services, enabling better performance monitoring and debugging.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Relying on plain text logs, which can be cumbersome and less informative
• Using manual JSON formatting, which is prone to errors and inconsistencies
• Solely depending on Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools, which may not cover all logging requirements

Additional context

Implementing these changes would significantly improve our logging practices, making it easier to track user interactions, diagnose issues, and analyze system performance efficiently.
