Logging is one of those tools that can either help us solve a mysterious issue, or make us scratch our head relentlessly. In the early days, we would connect to a single server, sift through access logs, and hope enough debugging information would be available to help us crack the challenge.

Today, connecting to hundreds, thousands of servers, and reading a gazillion logs would be considered a "crime", if ever possible, in the Cloud we know today. Add Cloud functions in the mix, API integrations left and right, and before you know it you've become a thriller detective.

There's a better way! In this talk, you will learn logging strategies to find exactly what you need. We'll go through structured and canonical logging, and how "Wide Events" will save the day when you try to correlate transactions across multiple services.
