structured-logging-and-observability

What problem does it solve?

Production services often lack reliable, structured visibility for debugging, auditing, and performance tuning; this skill provides a standard approach to structured logging, metrics, and health checks to improve observability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured logging in JSON for consistent parsing across services.
• Defined log levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) to guide diagnostics.
• Metrics exposure for request rate, error rate, latency (p50/p95/p99), and queue depth.
• Health check endpoint at /health to support load balancer health monitoring.
• Anti-pattern warning: avoid logging only on error to ensure observability.

Quick Start

Instrument your service with JSON logs, standard log levels, and a simple health endpoint to begin observable operations.
