Support for Structured Logging is a new Spring Boot feature introduced with the Spring Boot 3.4.0 release. Structured Logging is fairly common to use in distributed environments where you are using some type of consolidated logging. Typically, you will use a JSON log format to allow for easy consolidated log searches with indexing tools such […]Continue reading
JSON Logging in Spring Boot simplifies setup, especially for applications in distributed environments like Kubernetes. Consolidated logging requires searchable logs, often formatted in JSON. Logstash is a popular choice. A basic Logback configuration supports JSON logging, aiding development with profile flexibility. Testing can be done by generating log messages easily.
When it comes to logging in enterprise applications, logback makes an excellent choice – it’s simple and fast, has powerful configuration options, and comes with a small memory footprint. I have introduced logback in my introductory post, Logback Introduction: An Enterprise Logging Framework. YAML is just one option you can use for Spring Boot configuration. […]Continue reading
Logback is designed to be faster and have a smaller memory footprint than the other logging frameworks around. If you are new to Logback, you should checkout my introductory post on Logback: Logback Introduction: An Enterprise Logging Framework. Logback supports configuration through XML and Groovy. I explained XML configuration in my previous post, Logback Configuration: using […]Continue reading

Logback is a logging framework with those qualities. If you are new to Logback, I suggest going through my introductory post on Logback: Logback Introduction: An Enterprise […]Continue reading

Through logging you get to see what the application code is actually doing during these activities at runtime. Using System.out to print messages to the console is simply not sufficient for enterprise applications. Enterprise applications […]Continue reading
