Logging & Error-Handling

Errors happen – you can't prevent that. But what you can prevent is chaos.

Through strategic logging and thoughtful error management, you gain visibility into what went wrong and why.

Why Logging and Error-Handling Matter

Errors are inevitable in software development, but chaos is preventable. Through strategic logging and thoughtful error management, you gain insight into what went wrong and why.

Key Topics

Development & Production Logging
We distinguish between logging during development, where comprehensive logs aid early bug detection, and production environments where a selective approach prevents performance degradation.

Log Services & Analysis
Training covers both local logging solutions and cloud-based services, teaching you to store, retrieve, and interpret log data effectively to identify patterns and anomalies.

Exception & Error Handling
The program addresses capturing exceptions and responding appropriately to prevent cascading failures in applications.

Error Tracking & Automation
You discover tools for automated error monitoring and alerts when issues surface in real systems.

Communication Strategies
The curriculum covers translating backend errors into user-friendly frontend messages while maintaining security and clarity.

HTTP Status Codes
Proper implementation of status codes (404, 500, 401) enables cleaner error communication with clients.

Error Categorization & Prioritization
The academy teaches systematic approaches to assessing error severity and urgency for appropriate resource allocation.

Prevention & Testing
Proactive testing and early problem detection minimize errors before production deployment.

Security Considerations
Best practices ensure sensitive data remains protected in logs while maintaining compliance standards.
