Stop writing separate code for logs, metrics, and traces. Write one log entry and automatically get structured logs, metrics dashboards, distributed traces, and service dependency maps.
The Problem#
Traditional observability requires 20+ lines per operation - separate logger calls, metric counters, trace spans, manual correlation.
The Solution#
sovdev_log(INFO, FUNCTIONNAME, 'Payment processed', PEER_SERVICES.PAYMENT_GATEWAY, input, output);
// ↑ Automatic logs + metrics + traces + correlation
Result: 95% less instrumentation code, complete observability out of the box.
