Structured Logging in a stack that has Lambda and containerized services

[ssathasivanACR]

Hi All,

We have an architecture - REST APIs (implemented as API Gateway + Lambda) and worker processes (ECS /Fargate , SQS/Lambda, Event Bridge/SQS/Lambda).

For the Lambda part f the stack, we would like to use .NET Power tool for logging. In order to implement structured logging in worker processes (ECS /Fargate), is it recommended to use .NET Power tools, so that log structure remains consistent across microservices.

Hi @ssathasivanACR ,

Powertools could be a good option, and you raise a good point on maintaining consistency across services running inside or outside Lambda.

Cheers,
Henrique

Hi @hjgraca ,

Is this something that is being discussed with in AWS

There was a discussion here.
In your example, using logging everything should work as expected.

The discussion seems to be revolved around Tracing and Metrics. My question is around logging.

The discussion is around what could be less supported, logging is the most supported feature.
