Mastering Logging in Java

Track: Frameworks

Abstract

Logging isn’t just about debugging; it’s how you figure out what your application was thinking before it all went wrong. It is important for understanding why your application isn't working properly. This session will compare popular Java logging frameworks like Java Util Logging, Log4J, SLF4J, and Logback, highlighting their strengths and quirks.

We’ll also look at the shiny new Log4j 3 and how it stacks up against its predecessor, Log4j 2. Whether you’re trying to improve your logging game or just want fewer “what the heck happened?” moments, this talk should be helpful for you.
