๐ŸŽฏ Use Cases & Examples

๐ŸŒ 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})

๐Ÿ“Š High-Performance Applications

# Enable async logging for high throughput
config = {"async_logging": {"enabled": True, "batch_size": 1000}}
logger = CustomLogger("high-perf-service", config)

for event in event_stream:
    logger.info(f"Processing event {event.id}")

๐Ÿ” Debugging & Monitoring

# Custom log levels for different purposes
logger.add_custom_level("AUDIT", 25)
logger.add_custom_level("BUSINESS", 35)

๐ŸŽฏ Best Practices

๐Ÿš€ 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"})

๐Ÿ”’ Security

# Don't log sensitive information
logger.info("User authenticated", extra={"user_id": user.id})  # โœ… Good
logger.info(f"User password: {password}")  # โŒ Bad

# Use trace IDs for correlation, not session tokens
set_trace_id(f"req-{uuid.uuid4()}")  # โœ… Good
set_trace_id(session_token)  # โŒ Bad

๐ŸŽจ Maintainability

# Use consistent logger names across services
logger = CustomLogger("payment-service")  # โœ… Good
logger = CustomLogger("srv_pmt_v2")  # โŒ Bad

# Configure once, use everywhere
from myapp.logging_config import LOGGER_CONFIG
logger = CustomLogger("my-service", LOGGER_CONFIG)
