Introduction to Logging in Microservices

In a monolithic application, logging is a relatively straightforward task. You typically have a single application server, and logs can be directed to a centralized log management system. However, in a microservices architecture, where multiple services communicate with each other, logging becomes more complex. Each microservice generates its own logs, making it challenging to correlate and analyse them.
