Why is logging important in Node apps?

Junior NodeJS
Quick Answer Logs are your visibility into what's happening in production. When something goes wrong, logs tell you when, what, and why. Log request errors, unexpected exceptions, slow queries, and key business events. In production, use a structured logger (Winston, Pino) and ship logs to a centralized system (Datadog, CloudWatch, ELK) for searching and alerting.

Answer

Logging helps track errors, performance, and user actions. Winston and Pino are common tools.
