Logging

Structured application logging with Winston and daily-rotating log files.

The logger is a configured Winston instance with daily-rotating files, generated at src/utils/logger.ts.

import { logger } from '@/utils/logger.js';
 
logger.info('Order placed', { orderId, userId });
logger.error('Payment failed', { err });

What you get

  • Structured logs — log with a message and a metadata object; output is consistent and machine-parseable.
  • Daily rotation — files roll over each day so logs stay manageable and old logs are retained on a schedule rather than growing unbounded.
  • Request correlation — pair log lines with the X-Request-ID to trace a single request end to end.

Levels and configuration

Log level and output behavior are driven through the config module, so you can run verbose logs in development and trim to warnings in production via .env.

tip

In containerized deployments you'll often also want logs on stdout for your platform to collect — the Winston setup is a normal logger you can extend with additional transports.
