Logging, Errors & Observability
Production React applications need visibility into failures and performance. Capture route, feature, operation, and correlation context where appropriate, while avoiding secrets and unnecessary personal data.
User-facing errors should be actionable and understandable. Developer logs should contain enough technical context to diagnose the problem.
Observability should distinguish expected user errors from infrastructure failures so dashboards do not become noise.
Key Takeaways
- Separate user-facing messages from diagnostic details.
- Include useful context without leaking secrets.
- Track error rates and performance trends, not only console logs.
