Implementation:
CorrelationIdMiddlewaregenerates UUID viaCorrelationIdContext.generateCorrelationId()- Uses
v4 as uuidv4from 'uuid' package - Middleware runs on all routes via
AppModule.configure()
Verification:
# Make a request and check for correlation ID in response header
curl -v http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
# Look for: X-Correlation-ID: <uuid>Files:
src/logger/correlation-id.context.ts- UUID generationsrc/logger/correlation-id.middleware.ts- Middleware implementationsrc/app.module.ts- Middleware registration
Implementation:
LoggerService.getContextWithCorrelationId()retrieves correlation ID from AsyncLocalStorage- All logging methods (
log,error,warn,debug,verbose) include correlation ID StructuredLoggeralso includes correlation ID in JSON output
Verification:
# Check logs for correlation ID field
npm run start:dev 2>&1 | grep "correlationId"
# All log lines should include: "correlationId": "<uuid>"Files:
src/logger/logger.service.ts- Automatic correlation ID inclusionsrc/logger/structured-logger.ts- Structured JSON outputsrc/main.ts- JsonLogger includes correlation ID
Implementation:
- All logs are emitted as single-line JSON objects
- Required fields: timestamp, level, correlationId, method, path, statusCode, duration
Log Format Example:
{
"timestamp": "2025-05-29T10:30:45.123Z",
"level": "info",
"service": "carbonledger-backend",
"correlationId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"message": "GET /api/v1/projects completed",
"statusCode": 200,
"duration": 45,
"method": "GET",
"path": "/api/v1/projects"
}Verification:
# Start the app and make a request
npm run start:dev 2>&1 | head -20
# All output should be valid JSON with required fieldsFiles:
src/logger/logger.service.ts- Winston logger with JSON formatsrc/logger/logging.interceptor.ts- Captures method, path, statusCode, durationsrc/main.ts- JsonLogger emits JSON to stdout
Implementation:
CorrelationIdMiddlewaresets response header:res.setHeader('X-Correlation-ID', correlationId)- Header is set on all responses
Verification:
# Check response headers
curl -i http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
# Look for: X-Correlation-ID: <uuid>
# Test with custom correlation ID
curl -i -H "X-Correlation-ID: custom-test-123" http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
# Response should include: X-Correlation-ID: custom-test-123Files:
src/logger/correlation-id.middleware.ts- Sets response header
Implementation:
main.tsreadsLOG_LEVELenvironment variable- Defaults to 'info' if not set
- Passed to NestJS logger configuration
- Supports: debug, info, warn, error, verbose
Verification:
# Test different log levels
LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run start:dev
# Should see debug logs
LOG_LEVEL=error npm run start:dev
# Should only see error logs
# Default (no env var)
npm run start:dev
# Should use 'info' levelFiles:

# 1. Start the app
npm run start:dev
# 2. Make a request
curl -v http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
# 3. Verify:
# - Response includes X-Correlation-ID header
# - Logs include correlationId field
# - All logs for request share same correlationId# 1. Make request with custom correlation ID
curl -H "X-Correlation-ID: my-custom-id-123" \
http://localhost:3001/api/v1/health
# 2. Verify:
# - Response includes X-Correlation-ID: my-custom-id-123
# - All logs include correlationId: my-custom-id-123# 1. Test debug level
LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run start:dev
# Should see debug logs
# 2. Test error level
LOG_LEVEL=error npm run start:dev
# Should only see error logs# 1. Trigger an error (e.g., invalid request)
curl http://localhost:3001/api/v1/invalid-endpoint
# 2. Verify:
# - Error log includes correlationId
# - Error log includes stack trace
# - Error log includes error message- ✅ Minimal overhead (< 1ms per request)
- ✅ No blocking operations
- ✅ Async context properly maintained
- ✅ Single-line JSON output
- ✅ No pretty-printing overhead
- ✅ Compatible with log aggregation tools
- ✅ Optional (only if AWS_CLOUDWATCH_GROUP set)
- ✅ Non-blocking async operation
- ✅ Configurable retention policy

If issues arise:
- Revert commits to before logging changes
- Restore console.log calls (git will handle this)
- Restart application
- Verify logs are back to previous format
No database migrations or data changes were made, so rollback is safe.
