How can I implement logging in microservices using Go?

You can use the built-in log package in Go, or third-party libraries like Logrus or Zap for structured logging.

What are the benefits of using structured logging?

Structured logging allows for better querying and analysis of logs, making it easier to troubleshoot issues.

Can you show me a simple example of structured logging in Go?

Sure! Here's a basic example using Logrus:

package main

import (
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

func main() {
    log := logrus.New()
    log.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
        "event": "event_name",
        "topic": "topic_name",
    }).Info("This is a structured log entry")
}
