Logging is a vital part of every application that runs in production. It is in place to tell a story about the lifecycle of its runtime and make it easy for developers to debug a system and identify what failed and how when things go wrong. It is, however, extremely easy to get it wrong, and the problems caused can stay hidden for years. In this session, I will talk you through all the possible issues that logging can cause and show you how you can fix every single one of them.
