Structured logging for Next.js
This post discusses implementing structured logging in Next.js to improve error tracking and user interaction insights. It introduces two solutions: next-logger for automatic JSON formatting of logs, easily integrated but limited to specific server environments; and pino, a highly customizable and high-performance logging library for Node.js, suitable for both development and production environments. The post provides steps for integrating pino with Next.js and highlights the benefits of JSON logging for both frontend and backend applications.
