Structured Logs You Can Search

Emit JSON logs with request correlation.

Logs You Can Actually Use

Plain text logs read fine to a human but fight you at scale. Structured logs store each event as data, so machines can filter and search them fast. 🔎

Why JSON Wins

Emit each log line as a JSON object. Every field becomes searchable, so you can query by tool, status, or duration without fragile text parsing.
