๐ฏ Use Cases & Examples
๐ Microservices Architecture
# Service A
from custom_logger import CustomLogger, set_trace_id
logger = CustomLogger("user-service", config)
set_trace_id(request.headers.get("X-Trace-ID"))
logger.info("Processing user registration", extra={"user_id": user.id})
# Service B
logger = CustomLogger("payment-service", config)
set_trace_id(request.headers.get("X-Trace-ID")) # Same trace ID!
logger.info("Processing payment", extra={"amount": 100.00})
๐ High-Performance Applications
# Enable async logging for high throughput
config = {"async_logging": {"enabled": True, "batch_size": 1000}}
logger = CustomLogger("high-perf-service", config)
# Log thousands of events without blocking
for event in event_stream:
logger.info(f"Processing event {event.id}")
๐ Debugging & Monitoring
# Custom log levels for different purposes
logger.add_custom_level("AUDIT", 25)
logger.add_custom_level("BUSINESS", 35)
logger.audit("User accessed sensitive data", extra={"user_id": 123})
logger.business("Revenue goal achieved", extra={"amount": 50000})

๐ฏ Best Practices
๐ Performance
# Use async logging for high-throughput applications
config = {"async_logging": {"enabled": True}}
# Set appropriate log levels for production
config = {"log_level": "INFO"} # Don't log DEBUG in production
# Use structured logging for better analysis
logger.info("User action", extra={"user_id": 123, "action": "login"})
๐ Security
# Don't log sensitive information
logger.info("User authenticated", extra={"user_id": user.id}) # โ
Good
logger.info(f"User password: {password}") # โ Bad
# Use trace IDs for correlation, not session tokens
set_trace_id(f"req-{uuid.uuid4()}") # โ
Good
set_trace_id(session_token) # โ Bad
๐จ Maintainability
# Use consistent logger names across services
logger = CustomLogger("payment-service") # โ
Good
logger = CustomLogger("srv_pmt_v2") # โ Bad
# Configure once, use everywhere
from myapp.logging_config import LOGGER_CONFIG
logger = CustomLogger("my-service", LOGGER_CONFIG)
