Month: 2026-05 | Repository: pagopa/pagopa-afm-calculator Key deliverable: Enhanced API Operation Logging and Traceability. Implemented structured JSON logging for API operations, ensured consistent request IDs across logs, and simplified log content to focus on operation steps. Updated tests and aligned microservice image tag to support improved logging and error handling. Six commits were executed to test and stabilize the new logging aspect. No separate critical bugs were reported this month; effort focused on observability improvements and release readiness. Impact: Significantly improved observability and troubleshooting capabilities for API operations, enabling end-to-end traceability across the service, faster root-cause analysis, and more reliable incident response. The changes support better service reliability and customer-facing performance by reducing mean time to detect and resolve issues, and by improving the quality of diagnostic data available to SRE and development teams. Technologies/Skills demonstrated: structured JSON logging, distributed tracing concepts, request ID propagation, test automation and coverage, CI/CD alignment for image tagging, logging standardization, and bug-fix discipline focused on testing new observability features.
