Problem

The backend currently relies on print statements for debugging and tracking execution flow.

This leads to:

• Lack of structured and consistent logs
• Difficulty in debugging issues in production
• No separation between debug and production logging
• Limited visibility into API requests, responses, and failures

Expected Behavior

• Use Python's logging module instead of print statements
• Support different log levels (INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
• Log important events such as API requests, responses, and failures
• Separate debug and production logging configurations
• Ensure logs are structured and readable

Proposed Solution

• Replace print statements with Python logging module
• Configure logging with appropriate format and levels
• Add logs for:
  • Incoming API requests
  • External API calls and responses
  • Error and exception handling
• Add configuration for debug vs production environments

Impact

• Improves debugging and observability
• Makes the application more production-ready
• Enhances maintainability and monitoring
