@sailplane/logger - CloudWatch and serverless-offline friendly logger
What?
Logger adds context and when needed, timestamps and JSON formatting, to log output.
This is part of the sailplane library of utilities for AWS Serverless in Node.js.
Why?
Sadly, console.log is the #1 debugging tool when writing serverless code. Logger extends it with levels,
timestamps, context/category names, and object formatting. It's just a few small incremental improvements, and
yet together takes logging a leap forward. It'll do until we can have a usable cloud debugger.
There are far more complicated logging packages available for Javascript; but sailplane is all about simplicity, and this logger gives you all that you really need without the bulk.
How?
