Global Error Handling

Global error handling captures failures by implementing centralized exception handlers, correlation IDs, and structured logging across all modules and API boundaries. This ensures no silent failures and provides complete debugging context for post-mortem analysis and system resilience.

Structure logs with context-preserving error data including stack traces, request IDs, and correlation IDs. This approach supports centralized error translation and gives you actionable debugging information tied to specific user sessions or transactions.

Implement bounded retry logic with jitter, idempotency checks, and graceful degradation strategies. Pair these with resource cleanup and telemetry capture so your system remains stable and recoverable when external services fail.

Specific exception types are essential for error handling. They allow centralized error translation, enable precise catch logic at different stack layers, and provide clear actionable messages that distinguish recoverable failures from critical ones.

Implement global error handling whenever adding new external API calls, crossing module boundaries, or managing resource-heavy operations. Early integration prevents silent failures and ensures consistent telemetry and retry behavior from the start.
