Learn more about logging in Fastify and how to customize the Pino logger.

The Fastify framework includes the Pino logger by default (a really great logger with lots of cool features that doesn't compromise on performance). The framework itself allows a lot of really cool stuff, like controlling the level of logs at runtime.

Fastify provides a built-in logging mechanism based on Pino that allows you to capture various events in your applications. Once enabled, Fastify logs all incoming requests to the server and errors that occur while processing said requests. It also provides a convenient way to log custom messages through the log() method on the Fastify instance or the request object.

Vitest is for frontend. Jest is not good for backend (I don’t like it for frontend either), take a look at this issue.

NodeJS -> Pino, Winston, Bunyan, Npmlog, e.t.c.

Use a configurable logger like pino

Using pino as a logger, for every request on the _server_ , a unique ID generated client side in the headers, so a log may be something like:

SenseDeep can be used to view CustomMetrics graphs and data. You can also create alarms and receive alert notifications based on CustomMetric data expressions.

💍 DynamoDB-OneTable: First released in January 2021, DynamoDB-OneTable is maintained by Sensedeep and is part of its broader Serverless Developer Studio offer.

There are many log libraries that are capable of emitting structured log context data. For SenseDeep, we use the SenseLogs library which is an exceptionally fast logging library designed for serverless. It has a flexible, simple syntax that makes adding detailed log events easy.

I like the idea, especially since I found libraries like https://github.com/jeremydaly/dynamodb-toolbox or https://github.com/sensedeep/dynamodb-onetable not elastic or up to date enough for me and reverted to raw AWS SDK. I look forward to AWS SDK v3 support in your typings!

Try the SenseDeep DynamoDB studio with a free developer license at SenseDeep App or learn more at https://www.sensedeep.com.

This post looks at our libraries DynamoDB Metrics, OneTable and the SenseDeep platform that understand your single-table design schema and can create and present detailed metrics to graphically show how your single-table designs are performing.

You can modify your environment configuration via API, the AWS Console, the AWS SDK or using the SenseDeep Developer Studio.

With SenseDeep, you can easily manage your SenseLogs configuration and view log data to quickly debug your serverless apps.
