WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LOGGER?

Hi all 👋 I'd love to know what is the 'best' logging solution I can use in my T3 app? Also, a few weeks ago there was some talk that a good error handling tutorial is needed, do you know of a good resource to learning best practices in error handling? Thank you for your time!

Solution:

console.log

console.log

Finn•2y ago

console for rust: panic(<message>)

Anna | DevMiner•2y ago

<pre>{content}</pre} and then window.print()

MendyOP•2y ago

Oh shoot. It's one of those questions 😬

Finn•2y ago

no, genuinely it is, others may disagree, but i rely more on my log ingest tools such as cloudwatch ive never bothered to setup a logger personally just console.log console.error and some times console.warn. cases where i might consider using a logger is when i wan to log something for debugging but the thing i want to log is sensitive data such as personally identifiable data

MendyOP•2y ago

If you needed a logger, do you have a go-to?

Finn•2y ago

ive never gone to unfortuately ive heard winston exists /shrug what features are you looking for? cus

const lOGGER = {
    debug: (...thing: unknown[]) => {
           if (proccess.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
               console.log("DEBUG: ", ...thing)
...ect

const lOGGER = {
    debug: (...thing: unknown[]) => {
           if (proccess.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
               console.log("DEBUG: ", ...thing)
...ect

could surfice

For backend console is sufficient. For front end, I want to see what happened so I need to send log info (Right?)

Finn•2y ago

ohh sentry?

MendyOP•2y ago

Yes something like that Or that 🤔

Finn•2y ago

i was more thinking in terms of a logger for a service maybe i have zero clue tbh

Scot•2y ago

I’ve always used Winston And then formatted to add in request ids and timestamps, also Otel packages will auto use loggers like that which is nice (unsure if they do for console.log)

Finn•2y ago

No clue what otel is

Scot•2y ago

Open telemetry Kinda wanna try it out in trpc and see how well it works

᲼᲼᲼•2y ago

i saw theo shit on sentry and suggested axiom over it. but he talked about backend logs. not sure if axiom is good with frontend logs/error handling

Scot•2y ago

I was talking about loggers in app, if you mean where do you store your logs that’s different question I’ve mainly used cloud watch and sumo logic in the past Frontend straight to Sumo Backend > cloud watch logs > sumologic

Finn•2y ago

Cloud watch is just so easy The UI sucks tbh, but it works

Scot•2y ago

Agree Sumologic is a bit more powerful as it’s a dedicated logging solution So that’s useful

Finn•2y ago

Not heard of it, I'm guessing it just injests logs and let's you do stuff

Scot•2y ago

Pretty much, also allows you to injest metrics and stuff but we mainly used it for logs and creating some dashboards powers by logs

Finn•2y ago

I see nice

Scot•2y ago

And has like a single query place where you can query all logs

Finn•2y ago

We tend to just ust was for that but it's probably harder I see. Nice

Scot•2y ago

Logging tools are pretty expensive

Finn•2y ago

Aws*

Scot•2y ago

Yeah we were pretty much fully on aws

Finn•2y ago

Yup I guess that's why we use aws got our graphs

Scot•2y ago

Sumo was one of only non aws things Along with honeycomb

Finn•2y ago

I see

Scot•2y ago

And snowflake

Finn•2y ago

Lol

Scot•2y ago

Snowflake was really a fkn game changer

Finn•2y ago

What does it do

Scot•2y ago

Anyways not really related to question but all those are good things to think about when logging 🙂 Maybe ask in something that isn’t this chat :p

Finn•2y ago

Fair
