Define and implement a standard for logging and HTTP responses #8

Description

@SammyBytes

Currently, the application does not follow a consistent standard for:

  • Logging: log levels, structure, and context are not unified.
  • HTTP responses: response shape varies depending on the module or error type.

This inconsistency makes it harder to debug, monitor, and maintain the system.

🔧 Proposed Change:

  • Define a standard log format including at least:

    • timestamp
    • level (info, warn, error, debug)
    • context (module/use case)
    • message
    • optional metadata (requestId, userId, etc.)
  • Define a unified HTTP response schema, e.g.:

    {
      "success": true | false,
      "message": "string",
      "data": {},
      "errors": []
    }
  • Update all modules (controllers/use-cases) to use this standard.

  • Add helpers/wrappers to enforce consistency (e.g. Logger service, HttpResponse builder).

Expected Benefits:

  • Consistent and predictable logs across the entire system.
  • Easier debugging and error tracing (with correlation IDs).
  • Unified HTTP responses improve DX (developer experience) for frontend and API consumers.
